Halloween Bash 2022

Happy Halloween, Highlands! What better way to celebrate the spookiest day of the year than by having a fun day for students and staff to dress up and participate in some frightful holiday activities all at the same time! This Halloween, there were several activities such as the Candy Guess Contest, a Halloween Costume Contest, and even a wacky Donut Eating Contest=! We got to see so many amazing costumes and they were all super creative and spooky! With the help of the Student Council and Mr. White students got to go home with wonderful memories and a sweet treat!  Sammi, Assembly Committee

On December 14, 2020, 8th Grade Council kicked off our Christmas Spirit Week 2020 with all the Christmas songs you know and love while playing, “Christmas Carol” Kahoot! Students and teachers from each team challenged each other, and in the process won their team a ton of spirit points and a Jamba Juice gift cards. Throughout the game, everyone heard Ariana Grande, Michael Bublé, to even the classic crooners like Bing Crosby, and many more! Not only that, but the leaderboard was going absolutely haywire! But, in the end, it was Jordan from Team B - Hui Mana’o that walked away with 1st Place and won his team 100 spirit points! Not only that, but Mrs. Morihara from Hui Mana’o took 2nd Place an extra 75 spirit points! And at close 3rd Place, we had Ms. Onishi from Team A - Laule’a winning 50 spirit points!

Halloween 2020 Kahoot!

On Tuesday October 27, 2020, the 8th Grade Council decided to host a trivia competition based on our most favorite time of the year - Halloween! Some of the questions asked were about Halloween history, Halloween traditions, and our favorite - spooky movies!!!

We used Kahoot! to host the competition and it was a bloody battle with a few students constantly in the lead while others were absolute pumpkins. As the game kept going, a lot of students were on fire at different times!  It all came down to the last question... and who would get it right???

Our ghoulish winners were... in 1st place was Kayah from Team Laulima.  2nd Place went to Jorden from Team Hui Mana’o.  And finally, in 3rd place was Ezekiel from team Team Alaka’i. They were treated with a ton of spirit points and Jamba Juice gift cards. Everyone who participated did a frighteningly good job!!!

Till the next haunting...  Talia, 8th Grade Class VP
