Honolulu City Council Recognition 2024

What an absolute honor it was to hear that we were to receive a Honolulu City Council Recognition at Honolulu Hale on Friday - August 9 from Councilwoman Okimoto! When we arrived we were welcomed to the Honolulu City Hall by the most wonderful media director, Mrs. Jocelyn. Councilwoman Okimoto gave all a huge welcome with warm hugs and leis as we watched the other groups being honored such as the Genki Ball Project, the Mililani High School Girls Varsity Softball Championship team, Malama Rising, 13th Festival of Pacific Arts and Culture, and even Kahikinaokalā Kalima who saved some tourist drowning at China Walls. When it was our turn we were put on live television. We walked up on stage, took pictures for the camera and even shook all 9 of the Honolulu City Council Members' hands! We want to give a huge shout out to Student Council 23-24 for putting together an epic year of activities that resulted in this most amazing awared!!! Lennon White, 8th Grade President
