Students Serve Breast Cancer Survivors
Student volunteers posed for group pictures after breaking down equipment at the Susan G. Komen race for a cure.
A few juniors from the Kamehameha Schools Kapālama KEY Club and National Honors Society volunteered at the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.
Meeting up at 6 a.m. in Kapiolani park, students worked in the survivor’s tent greeting 5k finishers with ribbon leis and healthy snacks until 9 a.m. Students were also able to speak with survivors hearing their personal stories while being educated about breast cancer.
“I really enjoyed getting to see all of the survivor’s supporters there alongside them, and seeing so many of them surprised and happy that they were being honored in their own special tent,” said Chara Kekona 11.
Overall, the students thought this was a great experience and they’ll definitely be looking forward to helping again next year.
Aloha! My name is Hamilton and I am the Opinions/A&E Editor this 2017-2018 school year for Ka Mōʻī. Sadly, this will be my second and last year on staff. Coming into Ka Mōʻī last year, I was a bit anxious knowing that my writing skills were not that well developed, but I have come a long way. Having Mr. Barona as both my English 11 teacher and newspaper advisor, I was able to not only improve my grammar, but also find a passion in writing. I’ve made new friendships with people who I’m glad to call my “publication fam,” and we’ve been able to take both newspaper and yearbook to soaring heights. Last year, a selected few including myself was fortunate enough to attend the National Journalism Convention in Seattle. Looking forward to this year, the editors and I hope to get Ka Mōʻī winning awards again.
Besides stuffing my face in the publications room eating Cup of Noodle while working on layout most of the time, you can also find me involved in student government...
