TEACHER HELP DAY

Image
July 26, 2011: The annual teacher help day event was held on July 26, 2011 at AHS. Student officers from each class were asked to recruit 20 student volunteers from their class to help incoming and outgoing teachers clean up their rooms from this past school year for the upcoming 2011 - 2012 school year. Small groups of students were designated to stations where they met their teacher and helped him/her empty, reorganize and dust the cobwebs off their school books. After a few hours of helpful hands, the volunteers gathered at Aiea High School's gym for satisfying chili cheese nachos lunch. The event was both a great bonding experience between classes and councils and an opportunity to meet the teachers. (Click on the images provided above to enlarge)

July 14, 2011 - July 16, 2011: The annual Student Leadership Workshop was held from July 14 to July 16 at University of Hawaii at Manoa. Student Leaders from all over the State of Hawaii gathered at the campus for three days full of fun and learning. As always, the participants showed up with various emotions; scared, excited and yes, grumpy from the early morning rush; but the event pulled through with smiles from everyone. Students were separated into 12 random groups with students from other schools, took in leadership knowledge and had a great time doing what leaders do. With "The Recipe for Leadership" being the theme of the workshop; our HSSC members sure did whip up a great event! (Click on the images provided above to enlarge)

LEADERSHIP CAMP 2011

June 5, 2011 - June 6, 2011: Aiea's annual leadership camp was held at the AHS library from June 5 to June 6. The 2011 - 2012 executive council is made up of twenty-nine students from five different councils. As the 2010 - 2011 school year came to a close, SA worked to put together the camp that'd prepare all of the incoming officers for a year full of work. Club presidents and officers joined during the first day for activities and position seminars with experienced student association officers. The leaders went over rules, regulations and our duties as officers while throwing fun games and activities every so often. The camp ended well with a much closer bond between officers and councils than before. We're all looking forward to the upcoming school year!
