REWIND! Welcome Back Assembly 2015 "May the Force Be With You"

This has to be the most epic event we've ever put on!  Thanks so much for our yearbook photography company, Expressions, for these amazing photos -- photos that capture the second half of the assembly, not covered in our original post back in August 2015. Simply put, we couldn't have had a better activity to kick-off the best school year ever!!!

Fall Dance 2015 "The Force Awakens"

Music and a black lights in the cafeteria only meant one thing on the Friday before the Fall Break...Fall Dance 2015 "The Force Awakens!" Everyone enjoyed dancing their hearts out, playing games and participating in activities, eating and drinking all the yummy concessions, and best of all -- taking pictures with their friends! Friends could also make song shout-outs to each other, make song requests or take polaroid/professional/iPad pictures together for the first time at the dance. Several booths were open to the students outside as well as inside the dance that include a light up/glowing item store, a Haunted House 4 Promo Booth, a Balloon Activity booth, Takeshi the Magician, an arcade Basketball Game, and a total of 3 photo booths!!! It was a blast for everyone especially since it was the final day of Spirit Week 2015! "The Force Awakens" took over Highlands Intermediate for just one day, but it'll be a day never to be soon forgotten... Alex, Assembly Committee Chair

Spirit Week 2015

Spirit Week 2015 was a hit! Each day you were allowed to dress up to match the theme determined. Monday had students dressed in their sports uniforms, their favorite team jerseys, and more! On Tuesday, students dressed up as their favorite Disney or Pixar characters. Wednesday was a wacky one! From boys dressed as girls, to dressing up as teachers, Highlands had it all! Thursday, was a day to dress up as your favorite cartoon character. Lastly, on Friday, students dressed up as different Star Wars characters to support Highlands’ theme of the year 2015-16. Students walked around campus dressed as Darth Vader, Princess Lea, and more! Hunter, Spirit Committee Chair
