Winter Dance 2016 "The Yule Ball"

Brr! It’s getting cold in here... There must be some Colts in the atmosphere! This year’s winter dance was themed “The Yule Ball” based off the event in the 4th Harry Potter movie and book, “The Goblet of Fire.”  So. so many people turned up at our wonderful winter dance! We transformed the Cafeteria into Hogwarts with a giant backdrop of The Yule Ball! This year’s dance was full of activities such as Ollivander’s Wand Making, The Three Broomsticks concession stand for Butter Beer and Hot Cocoa, Ugly Sweater Contest, Quidditch!, Muggle Basketball and “Ye Olde Yule Ball Picture Booth.” This year’s dance turned out to be a big hit! So many memories, such a magical time it was!!!  Ahnjeli, Dance Committee Co-Chair

Halloween Costume Contest 2016

Since when were the Joker and the Mad Hatter in the same universe? Halloween, that’s when! Characters from all kinds of different stories, movies and games came together for our annual Halloween Costume Contest. During this year’s annual Halloween costume contest we had so many crazy participants! Some were dressed scary and some were dressed funny -- it was a variety of costumes. And when the judges couldn't decide a winner, there was an epic dance battle went down to determine the winner! But of course, there can be only one winner -- and that was Fatima and Alex of Hui Mana’o/Order of the Phoenix!! The winners were the very creative with Fatima as a “Bluetooth Fairy” and Alex as the “Social Butterfly.” Congratulations to the following Halloween Costume Contest 2016 winners:
