Student Life

Members of this team consider themselves listeners and advocates for their fellow Momilani students. They help to promote student voice in the school community. One of the goals of Momilani Elementary’s Leadership Team is to embark on projects that improve our school community, develop solutions for taking care of the world around them, and promote stewardship within its members. Design Thinking is a creative problem solving process that calls for thoughtful solutions to real-world situations. As a style of thinking, students are challenged to combine empathy for the context of a problem, creativity in the generation of ideas and possible solutions, and complex thinking to analyze and fit solutions to the context.

School activities they are involved in: Welcome Assembly, Red-Ribbon Week, Veterans’ Day Assembly, Food Drives, HIS Leadership Conference, Spirit Week, Awards Assembly
