Welcome Back Assembly 2019 "Highlands Intermediate: The Most Magical School on Earth!"

Welcome Back Colts! You voted for it last year and you got it -- this year’s school theme is "Highlands Intermediate: The Most Magical School on Earth!" The Disney theme was in full effect and we transformed the Gym into Disneyland for one amazing day! We kicked off the annual event with introducing the HIS Student Council 19-20 with a little “Finesse” and we also introduced (and initiated) seven new teachers with som “Old Town Road” by Lil Nas X!  Everybody was singing and cheering as loud as they could for our new student and staff introductions!!! Before you knew it, the Highlands Spirit Competition kicked off with some extremely entertaining games like Moana’s Canoe Race, Tiana’s Bayou Bounce, Head Shoulders Knees and Mouse!, Tangled! and Disney Kahoot! There were so opportunities to score tons of spirit points for your team! Looking forward to the rest of the school year, I just can’t wait to see all the new games and activities we will be conjuring up! I can already tell this is gonna be a such magical year…  Sophia, Spirit Committee

Welcome Back Assembly 2017 "Justice League Unite!"

When you were younger have you ever imagined yourself being one of those super cool heros in movies and tv shows??  Well, now you can!  This year’s Welcome Back Assembly 2017 “Highlands Unite!”, you all were able to be the heroes of the school!  This year, the Highlands Student Council members transformed the gym into Superman’s Metropolis and heroes from near and far gathered for exciting entertainment and games!  I know the 8th graders didn’t get to see the WBA last year, but I definitely think that this was an awesome experience and it made up for what we missed last year!  With our awesome DJ, Jadee, pumping up the audience with fun songs, we had tons of games and activities going on like the Wonder Woman Lasso Relay, The Flash Tic-Tac-Toe Relay Race, Aquaman Relay Race, Superman’s Frozen T-Shirt Contest for the teachers and a lot more...  We even had special guests, 808 Viral to show us that we can all be local kine super heroes!!!  After all of the events, it appears Team Laulea has taken the lead with the most amount of spirit points!  I wonder, though, if they will stay in the lead forever or if another team’s gonna steal the first place spot?!?!  The WBA 17 was an awesome way to kick off the 2017-18 school year and it makes me wonder what other amazing events we’ll have throughout the year....  Skyla, SG Vice President
