Thanksgiving Bash 2025

Our Thanksgiving Bash 2025 proved that you don't need a dinner table to start the celebration. The Highlands Student Council outdid themselves this year, turning ordinary grade-level lunches into a festive experience featuring nine unique activities. While games like Pumpkin Pie Face and Pumpkin Patch Match brought plenty of laughter and "undeniable energy," the event was about more than just play. It provided a vital space for students to bond and create lasting memories. Our Gratitude Box served as a beautiful centerpiece for the day; it was overflowing with notes of thanks, proving that our greatest strength is our connection to one another. It was a joy to see the student body come together to celebrate gratitude and friendship in such a meaningful way.  Sophia Marie Kim, Student Government Secretary
