Fun Friday 1 2026

Highlands Intermediate kicked off its highly anticipated, end-of-year "Fun Friday" series, transforming the school grounds into a vibrant tropical paradise packed with high-energy activities. The campus was buzzing with school spirit as students raced through a massive inflatable obstacle course, drawing long lines, friendly competition, and non-stop laughter. The excitement reached a fever pitch over at the volleyball courts, where teams went neck-and-neck in a high-speed battle for the coveted Highlands Spirit Cup. With the most spirit points in school history on the line, students soaked up the sun and scrambled to complete their Fun Friday Reward cards. After participating in six different activities, students turned their cards into Mr. White for a well-deserved Otter Pop and a massive 25-point spirit bonus for their team. The absolute highlight of the day, however, was the Teacher Dunk Tank, which brought massive crowds during both lunch periods. Students cheered wildly as they lined up to dunk their favorite teachers. The Dunk Tank Lineup Included:

7th Grade Lunch: Mr. Zhang (Laulima), Mr. Shirafuji (Hui Ha’aheo), Mrs. Frilles (Hui Lokahi), and Mr. Lim (Alakai).
8th Grade Lunch: Mr. Karwiel (Laulea), Mr. Nomura (Kupono), and Mr. Miho (Koa Kou Lio).

These incredible events successfully brought the entire school community together, leaving everyone hyped, refreshed, and full of pride as we head into the final weeks of the academic year!  Alea Atud, 8th Grade Secretary
