The Waipahu Class of 2015 rocks!!!
Teachers and students invited me to speak about our organization a couple of months ago and now several of these community conscience students are organizing fundraising events and humane awareness rallies on our behalf!
In my humble opinion, teens often are portrayed inaccurately and the students at Waipahu High School confirm my belief. Students greeted my colleague and I before our feet hit the school's sidewalk the morning of our assembly. Genuinely polite, they handled our bags and carts with more respect and efficiency than a bellman at a five-star resort.
What I truly appreciated though is how excited the entire assembly was to have us! From football players to the scholars, this was not a group of surly, indifferent teenagers. Here we had a collection of lively individuals who were hungry to learn about the Hawaiian Humane Society and how they could help.
Since our initial presentation, students have been working diligently on ways to educate their peer. Educational games at school fairs, donation drives, even Dippin Dot ice cream sales with "Did you know" tags! These students are blowing my socks off!
Hats off to all the participants and Ms. Tori Itamoto, the group's fearless advisor.
