Teacher & Staff Appreciation Breakfast 2017

On the morning of May 12, 2017, the Highlands Cafeteria was filled with music, floaties of all sizes and colors, and lots and lots of leis! Teachers were greeted with hugs and high fives and Teacher Appreciation Booklets that the students made for them! Once inside, all of our awesome Highlands teachers and staff were treated to IHOP pancakes, Starbucks coffee, Big City Diner fried rice, and fruit and donuts from the Tugaoen Ohana! Sounds yummy, yeah?!? All of the the teachers, got the chance to win sunglasses, real leis, and floaties during the teacher raffle!  There were lots of laughs and smiles all that morning and they would carry on throughout the day. I think that that breakfast was well-deserved and I know for sure that all the teachers and staff feel a lot more appreciated now :)))  Big thanks to our community event sponsors: Big City Diner Pearlridge, Starbucks Pearlridge, and IHOP Pearl City!!!!

"A Charlie Brown" Xmas Teacher Appreciation Breakfast

Ever wonder how you can show your teachers how much they mean to you? Teachers are always constantly aiming for you to become the most successful person that you could be, and what do we do in return? The answer is usually “nothing.”  Well, we, the Highlands Student Council thought that it would be an amazing idea to have a teacher appreciation breakfast to give our teachers thanks before the end of the semester. The 8th Grade Council was tasked to plan and organize the event and they eventually decided to make the theme “A Charlie Brown Christmas” theme! We had amazing food sponsored by Starbucks Waimalu, iHop Pearl City, and Big City Diner Pearlridge!  We also had an amazing entertainment by our very own highlands 8th graders -- Jade and Sarah!  Also, we would like to give a big shoutout to our amazing emcees for the event -- Jaeda and Sarah!  They did an amazing job for entertaining our teachers with a lot of raffles and prize giveaways! Lastly, we would like to thank our teachers for not only helping us with our work, but also for supporting us and making us succeed in life. Without our amazing Highlands teachers, we wouldn't be the to-be-successful people that we all plan to be!  Merry Xmas, teachers!!!  Sarah, 8th Grade Secretary

Judging from the activity evaluations from the staff and teachers, this was the best breakfast ever! Jalisa -- Student Government VP
