Healthy choices of fresh fruit, salads, and sandwiches are part of a balanced diet. The Kalani Health and Fitness club meets during Advisory on Even days and encourages students to keep fit and make healthy lifestyle choices.

The Kalani Health and Fitness Club meets during Advisory on even days at Kalani High School. The advisor of the club is Mr. Melemai and the president is Aiden Gia Diep (12).

The club plans to have many fundraisers to promote exercise and overall well-being. This opportunity will allow students to make new friends and help out the community. 

“The goal is just to promote health and fitness and to do cool events,” a representative from the club, David Summers (11) says.

The club is recommended specifically to people who are interested in lifting, sports and athletics, but also just anyone who wants to come help out.

There are many benefits of joining this club: you can improve your fitness/lifestyle, make friends, and gain leadership skills, according to Summers.

Joining clubs is a great way to get involved with your school and can even look good on your college application.

If you’re interested in joining the Health and Fitness club, email President Aiden Gia Diep.

Cady writes about what she finds interesting. She feels like she thinks about what other people would want to read. She tries to fill her articles with humor, but it is difficult at times. Still, she is determined to improve and write engaging articles. So far, Cady’s favorite article has been about sports. She chose to write about cheerleading because it interests her very much.
