The Penny Purge

The commencement of the annual Penny Purge is less than 20 hours away. Prepare all your pennies for points, and silver coins and dollars for sabotage. All proceeds will benefit hurricane relief efforts in Puna. And just remember all the good that the purge does...

On Wednesday, August 27, 2014 St. Anthony Junior-Senior High School had a club fair to show the students the various clubs that are offered on campus as well as community clubs, Boy and Girls Club, Big Brother Big Sisters, and Habitat for Humanity. National Honor Society and National Junior Honor Society officers informed students of what the club does, and encouraged them to work hard to meet the requirements in order to be in the club.  

Brace Yourself School is Coming

All good things must come to an end, but with every ending there is a new beginning. Tomorrow marks the beginning of a new school year and many great things are in store. So everyone brace yourself and enjoy what remains of this last summer day.

Happy Independence Day!

Character is what distinguishes one individual from another. It is the product of constant striving to make the right choices day after day. It is up to us to choose to do good with the freedom that we are given and that ultimately contributes to our happiness. Have a Happy Independence Day everyone! 

--Vanessa Coloma, NHS Publicity Secretary 

Food for Thought Over the Summer

Aloha NHS and NJHS members!

We hope all of you are having a great summer vacation so far!

Mahalo, and enjoy the rest of your summer!

Thanks to our co-chairs, Amy Moore and James Thompson, we were fortunate to have an alumnus as our guest speaker. John Fitzpatrick graduated from Saint Anthony Junior-Senior High School in 2000 and went on to study marine biology at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Today he teaches biology and oceanography at University of Hawaii Maui College. His speech at the ceremony focused on the value in knowledge, some of the difficulties he experienced while in school, and the importance of pursuing one's passion.  

Congratulations to the new members!

Honoring Nanea

Myckel Nanea Tehani Genovia was a joyful, strong-willed, and loving ten-year-old girl who had her whole life ahead of her. Nanea loved to play sports and take care of her pets. Her friends and family meant everything to her. Although there were many challenges in her life, she took every day with the enthusiasm that only a ten-year old could have. Sadly she was stricken with Leukemia and passed away on September 21, 2013.

In honor of Nanea, the Saint Anthony National Honor Society made the decision to raise money that would be given to the Ronald McDonald House. At our homecoming game on January 17, 2014, a jar and with posters were set up by the entrance of the gym. At their leisure, many of the attendees made anonymous donations. During half-time co-chairs Danae Ah Nee and Ali Hanna spoke of Nanea and what the National Honor Society was doing in her honor. At the end of the evening a total of $233 was raised for the Ronald McDonald House. Thank you to everyone for spreading the word and for making this possible!
