Friday, April 22, was Earth Day! In recognition of Earth Day, we had a dress down where everyone at our school could wear green to earn spirit points! Another thing that the Highlands Intermediate Student Council did for Earth Day was another awesome Service Project! The Pearl City District Park gym, courts and fields next to our school was littered with trash and looked like it needed a little TLC ;) It was our little way of saying thank you to the people who run and manage the PC District Park for letting us use their facilities for PE classes, for recess and lunch free play, and all of our intramurals, dances and assemblies — we would clean the park for them! We all had fun cleaning because we brought music with us and most importantly, a good attitude! Lastly, to end Earth Day Cleanup 2016, our HIS Student Council decided to start a new tradition by planting our own trees for Earth Day! Each Student Council member got a chance to dig with pick and shovel and we finally got 3 trees planted next to the SG Room! This Earth Day has taught all of us to enjoy and appreciate everything that we have, and to ALWAYS treat our Earth with respect! Sarah, 8th Grade Secretary
