Christmas Kindness Week 2019

During Christmas Kindness Week 2019 we all chipped in to make Highlands a better place to live and learn! Small acts of kindness were no stranger to us as we started to spread the Christmas Spirit all across campus! We all got to make people smile while at the same time earning spirit points for their teams. Let’s keep this going throughout the whole year, Colts! We got this! Sophie, Spirit Committee

Kindness Week 2018

This year’s Kindness Week made the entire school so warm, that maybe the Grinch’s heart might’ve been thawed! This was evidenced by all the students lining up with their Kindness Cards on the last day, ready to get their reward for getting closer to Santa’s Nice List. Even after we had closed off the lines for ice cream sundaes, that didn’t stop everyone from giving in a card to show that you don’t need a reward to be kind to people. This year’s Kindness Week 2019 was a total success because there were students from every team who went out of their way to spread kindness and good vibes across campus! Events like these keep students out of trouble and campus morale higher than normal.  Jasmine, Spirit Committee

Kindness Week 2017

Kids these days are either growing humps on their backs, growing mushrooms on their head, or have frowns that need to be turned upside down because of all the stress induced by the end of the quarter. So, to brighten up people’s day and change this dispiriting atmosphere,  Kindness Week has arrived to rain smiles and happiness among these joyless students! What’s so special about it is that it only happens once a year and small actions transform into something beautiful like the cherry blossoms in the Spring! Once the Kindness Week forms were passed out at the beginning of the week, students took it as a joke just so they can earn the special treat. But, as time flew by we grew closer and closer together as a school with each random act of kindness bestowed! Our formula for success was 1,000 x 16 Acts of Kindness = 16,000 Awesome Deeds!!! By the end of the week, absolutely everyone had a smile on their face -- not because they stuffed their face with ice cream, but because their hearts were filled with happiness and gratitude ;) Thanks to everyone who showed kindness and good deeds... After all, no act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.  Natania, Spirit Committee Chairperson
