LEADERSHIP: IT'S NOT ABOUT REWARDS; IT'S DOING WHAT IS RIGHT EVEN IF NO ONE ELSE ACKNOWLEDGES YOU!

2022 MOANALUA HIGH SCHOOL LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE (above) The Moanalua High School Executive Council is made up of fifteen volunteers. VOLUNTEERS! While officers are elected, they choose to run knowing that if they win, there is no physical reward, no letter grade, no incentive other than the pure satisfaction of doing a good job and representing the student body. At times, we achieve great success while at other times, we achieve somewhat less, but it is always a learning process. While we can take away much satisfaction from doing a good job, we can also learn from mistakes and try to better ourselves the next time. And so, at the end of our terms, while we do not earn a credit, a letter grade or even a certificate of achievement proving our accomplishments, we can take away the self-satisfaction in knowing that we did our best for the students, school and community, and that positive experience is something we can really use as contributing adult members of society.

5/15: KAHANA BAY CLEAN UP!

Outwardly, Kahana Bay looked magnificent this morning with it's pristine beach, wide sand beach, and shaded greenery for picnic table.  But its dark secret is all of the plastic waste that float initially into the bay then wash up on shore.  The plastic bits are clearly visible on shore.  We spent the morning IN PERSON for a change, collecting the plastic bits and any other trash that washed ashore.  In the end, a total of 92 pounds was collected which might not seem like a lot, but consider that much of it was tiny little pieces of plastic.  Thank you to all of the officers and volunteers who showed up for our last project of the school year!
