During the Student Council Bonding at Pearlridge in 2023, the excitement was palpable as everyone eagerly arrived and geared up to conquer their designated escape rooms at Hawai’i Escape Challenge! The Highlands Intermediate Student Council took on the daunting challenges of the Red Doors, The Cabin, and the Nuclear Launch, with all but one group successfully breaking free within the one-hour time limit. The experience of working together under the pressure of time added an extra layer of camaraderie. Following the exhilarating escape rooms, the student council members then gathered at Bravo, an Italian restaurant also within Pearlridge, to enjoy a satisfying meal and conclude the day with full stomachs. The event proved to be an exceptional bonding opportunity, as students not only collaborated to solve puzzles but also learned more about each other, fostering stronger connections within the our very own student council community.
