Ko Olina Thanksgiving Outreach 2016

On Saturday, November 21st, the Highlands Student Council went down the street to the Ko Olina Thanksgiving Outreach at Pearl City Community Church.  This annual service project is important to us as we are able to help those less fortunate than us enjoy a proper Thanksgiving meal courtesy of Ko Olina Resorts. It was our job to bring some spirit to the event through cheers and energizers, help serve the meals, and talk story with everyone afterward. This heartwarming experience will no doubt stick with all of us through this special time of year. It was a very moving experience for everyone involved and we're so glad we could participate again this year. Isabella, 7th Grade Council - Palisades Elem.

Ko 'Olina Thanksgiving Outreach

The Ko Olina Thanksgiving Outreach was special in many ways not only for the Highlands Student Council, but also for the elderly, children, and awesome families that showed up at this amazing annual event!  This event was truly meaningful bonding experience for all that were present and we were all rewarded with a yummy early Thanksgiving meal from event sponsor, Ko Olina Resort!  The Highlands Student Council helped with greeting all the guest as they arrived, with games, and more importantly they got to sit down, talk story, and really get to know all the special guests before the food was served.  As the mingling and entertainment would down, the Student Council kids got to serve all of our special guests a meal they wouldn't forget.  It was with heavy heart that we said our goodbyes and we'll see each other again next year...
