StuCo Bootcamp 2016

“A-W-E-S-O-M-E.  Awesome, awesome -- TOTALLY!”  The Seventh and Eighth Grade Council members all had a blast at StuCo Boot Camp that took place at the New StuCo Room just before the start of school this year!  It was especially awesome to see the Highlands StuCo Alumni come back and facilitate the event!  They really made Boot Camp such an awesome experience --  I really appreciate them giving back to us.  We learned even more cheers, icebreakers and energizers, how to work together quickly\ and still have an amazing result.  We all got to learn a bit about each other and the event was like a mini-SLC.  It's just phenomenal!  This experience has taught us even more leadership skills and I know that because of this event, we’ll be able to make this year the most awesome and memorable year ever!

PCHES Reading Buddies

"Oh my gosh! I can't wait to go back!" was about the only thing you could hear from Student Council this past Wednesday since we got to become reading buddies to kindergarteners!  Throughout Q4, the Highlands Student Council will be walking to Pearl City Highlands Elementary School (PCHES) every Wednesday during the last period of the day. Every Student Council member is buddied up with 3-4 adorable kindergarteners!  Within our short, but productive 30 minutes we read a book and filled in the rest of the time with icebreakers and fun energizers!  For the most part, the kindergarteners put their squirmy hands in their lap and remain very engaged in the entire time.  Furthermore, Student Council gets to practice becoming a Community Contributor (GLO #2) as well as becoming an Effective Communicator (GLO #5). What an awesome way to kick off the 4th quarter and have a positive influence on the next generation! :))  Peyten, Student Government Treasurer
