"Level Up!" REWIND Video Game Art Contest 2021

Did you miss our Level UP activity? If you don’t remember it was called “Video Game Art Contest.” Several dozen people made their art but there was one thing they all had in common, how truly wonderful all of them were. Also we just wanted to say a big thank you to all of you who participated, and if you didn’t then I hope you had a fun time nonetheless, even if you didn’t do the activity that doesn’t mean that there will not be any other chances to earn spirit points in the future. Victoria, Spirit Committee

Spirit Competition 20-21 Kick Off! "Level Up!" Teacher Challenge

We’re gonna throw it back to the beginning of the school year and the kick-off event for the Highlands Spirit Competition 20-21! Our theme this year is "Level Up!", a video game theme that seemed so appropriate with the distance learning/virtual school reality we are all stuck with... Since the teachers were already on campus, we decided to kick-off our annual competition with them! Over the course of 1 week, 2 teachers from each team took over the Student Council Room and battled it out via our resident Nintendo Switch! Mr. White hand-selected 8 classics from the original NES (Nintendo Entertainment System): Super Marios Bros, Donkey Kong, Excitebike, Super Punchout!, Ghosts n Goblins, Donkey Kong Jr., Dr. Mario and the one that started it all… the original Mario Bros.! The teams of teachers played the Nintendo Classics and tried their very best to get the highest scores possible within the given timeframe for each of the games. The competition was furious and frenetic as the teachers tried to tap into their child for video game skill and strategy! After 7 rounds of play, it was Team C - Koa Kau Lio (Ms. Smitha and Mr. Zhang) that prevailed and took 1st Place!!! Check out the link in the bio above to see all the action... Let's look forward to many more opportunities to "Level Up!" in the 2nd semester - bring it!!!
