Highlands Canned Food Drive 2017

This year, Highlands Intermediate worked hard to raise hundreds of cans to donate to the Hawaii Food Bank, providing food to families in need during the Thanksgiving season.  The canned food drive took place from October 24 through November 17.  The competition was fierce this year as the seven teams tried to bring the most cans to win a ton of spirit points.  Students turned in their donations to their homerooms and submitted them to the Student Council room on November 17 to be counted.  It’s not hard to imagine seeing the joy on the faces of the recipients of those cans and we’re so happy to have helped in that procuring that wonderful experience.  Taylor, 8th Grade Class President

Highlands Hunger Games 3: The Rebel Games

The Hunger Games returned to Highlands for the third year in a row on November 25, 2015!!!  But, this year we changed the Hunger Games to make it one of the absolute BEST events Highlands has ever had.  This year, we combined the Star Wars and Hunger Games worlds to create one event to be known as “Highlands Hunger Games 3: The Rebel Games”!!!  We kicked off the Games this year with awesome performances by Princeton, Shaylana, and the HIS Cheerleaders!!!  Right after that, came the Parade of Tributes with the anxious Tributes hyping up the crowd before their competition.  In this year’s Hunger Games, there were 5 rounds as well as a special teacher round!!!  In these rounds, the Tributes needed to use their speed, strategy, and agility to be the last man standing after 5 minutes of intense competition.  They could choose to use crossbows, grenades, or the newest edition... lightsabers!!!  In addition to winning each round, Tributes could also earn Spirit Points by securing Parachutes sent in by sponsors throughout the Games!!!  After an awesome event, only one team could prevail and that team was...TEAM HUI MANA’O!!!  Better luck to all the other teams next year at Highlands Hunger Games 4!!!  Cade, SG President
