Highlands Virtual Spirit Week 1

"Keep Calm and Carry On." Even through the sad, sometimes boring, moments of these unprecedented times we can still find hope. Even if we can’t see each other we can stay connected! We came up with a great idea to keep everyone’s spirits as high as possible with a Virtual Spirit Week full of activities and fun postings. This kept the students minds and imagination at their brightest and encouraged all students to join in through these times. To kick things off was Pajama Day where you had to wear your pajamas to home school. The second day was Talented Tuesday where you showed off any new talents picked up while in quarantine. Day 3 was Workout Wednesday where everyone showed how they were staying fit and in shape. The fourth day was Throwback Thursday which was all about past pictures with friends! And finally, we ended Virtual Spirit Week 1 with C-O-L-T-S Pride Friday which is self-explanatory ;). It was a really fun and exciting week for all!  Brayden, Assembly Committee

“Make-A-Difference” 4 COVID-19

The 2019 - 2020 school year sure took a sudden and unexpected turn for the worst! Yet, even if we were separated, it didn’t stop us from making things just a little more positive ;) This year, our “Make-A-Difference” project was COVID-19 based. Each member of the student council worked on their own individual projects to spread a positive message, help out, or just make things easier on others. Some wrote cards to healthcare workers, sewed face masks, or made websites. All in the effort to make a difference during the pandemic. After our projects were complete, they were shared on the HIS social media to help heal or spread the good vibes. This goes to show that there is no limit on how positive messages can be spread. Even when we aren’t together physically, we can be together through spirit and heart.  Kamryn, SG Secretary
