Spirit Competition Kick Off 2021! Video

The Highlands Spirit Competition 21-22 kicked off with the teachers over the course of 1 week battled for the top spot on our Nintendo Switch! For the game, Mr. White chose the super fun racing game based on the Pixar movie: Cars 3! 2 teachers from each team raced the Copper Canyon Speedway track and tried their very best to get the fastest to the checkered flag! The competition was furious as the teachers tried to tap into their inner child for video game skill and strategy! Each teacher played once, and the average team time was taken to determine the winners of the games!

Ironically, Team A (Laule'a) - Cars took first place! Congrats to Mr. Esteban and Mr. Zhang for being our Teacher Champions and bringing eternal glory to your team this year!!!

 

New Year = New Teachers, New Students, New Teams!

Whoop, whoop, hooray! School is finally getting back to in-person learning, and Highlands Intermediate is so excited! It’s a new year, a new start! And with this new, exciting 2021-2022 school year coming in, we have brand-new teachers, students, and teams! Last year, our school theme was video games, fitting with COVID, but now, it’s the ever so funny Pixar! Like a phoenix rising from the fire, Highlands Intermediate has emerged from the darkness, bigger and better and raring to go! Our teams have picked their new Pixar identities, this year’s Student Council officers have been elected, our teachers have prepared for class, and us students are waiting anxiously with our bags packed for every new day! Plus, a little birdie told me that Student Council is just itching to plan some incredible activities for everyone! Colts, an awesome year has just started, what will you do with it?

Spirit Competition Kick-Off 2021! Cars3

It’s time to kick-start the Highlands Intermediate 2021 Spirit Competition! And what better way to start than with our very own awesome teachers? From August 10 to August 13, a Cars 3 competition for the teachers was run in the Student Council Room and boy was it awesome! Teachers from all across campus gathered in the spirit filled StuCo room and fought for glory on the switches. After being without many activities for over a year, everyone jumped at the chance to finally get back into the game! Plus, whoever won would get a head start in our school’s spirit competition, and we all know how competitive the teams can get! At the end of the year, winners receive the sought after spirit cup and the chance to choose their identities first. So with gaming reputation and spirit points on the line, teachers, ready? Steady? GO! Mia, Student Government Vice President
