After-Christmas Toy Drive 2020

The After-Christmas Toy Drive 2020 took place from January 13 - 31. Boxes were sent to each Team and students donated gently used toys for those less fortunate. This campus wide event was put together in hopes of making some kids happy! In return, Highlands Students were awarded spirit points for their teams. Big congratulations to Team Laulima for winning this meaningful and important competition! “It’s not the selfless deeds that make you who you are, it is the light you shine when all you see is darkness.” Mahalo! Myra-Lee, Moe, and Kobe

Leeward District Student Council 19-20

LDSC stands for the ‘Leeward District Student Council’ and it’s a great way to seek new ideas and interact with other StuCo kids!  It’s our job as Highlands Intermediate Student Government to head out once a month at Kapolei Middle School and meet with other student councils from all the district middle and high schools. We do lots of icebreakers and energizers and meet new people and talk about what goes on around our schools. It is really fun and enjoyable and we make incredible memories and hopefully make a difference when we get back to Highlands Intermediate!  Darien, Student Government Treasurer

PCHES Reading Buddies 2020

Energizers, ice breakers, and reading time - who wouldn’t love that?!?  The Highlands Student Council had the opportunity to go down to PCHES (Pearl City Highlands Elementary School) to read books and do some fun activities with all the second grade classrooms. Besides reading, we also had fun facilitating icebreakers and group energizers that we learned in Mr. White’s Leadership Class and all of our leadership trainings throughout the year!  We also taught them lots of Attention Getters like “Hey, hey, hey - listen up, listen up!”  The most memorable part of PCHES Reading Buddies was getting to see all the kids faces get so happy upon seeing us… that is, until we had to say our goodbyes until next time ;)  Avrine, Athletics Committee
