My Secret Valentine 2024

Has there been someone on your mind recently? Perhaps a little crush? Well, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner!  The Spirit Committee organized and ran an activity that took place at the Student Council Room and it was called “My Secret Valentine”. This activity took place Thursday 2/8 - Friday, 2/9.  This event allowed you to send teddy bears, Ring Pops, Valentine’s jelly bracelets, heart shaped glasses, and much more!  When you filled out the accompanying Valentine’s Card you could write your name or instead be mysterious and write it’s from a “secret admirer” or “someone special ;)  Cupids then assembled on Valentine’s Day made special deliveries in Homerooms across the whole campus. This activity was a fun way to send a treat to someone you love or possibly someone you have your eye on. Thanks to Mr. White, the Spirit Committee and the rest of Student Council for running such an exciting activity for our school in time for Valentine’s Day 2024!!!  Chevy Lei Bello, 8th Grade Class President

Students from 7th or 8th-grade homeroom would write down appreciative or even loving notes to close friends or partners! Some of them were even written anonymously, so good luck playing detective to find your secret admirer!! Then, those sweet messages were taped onto the wall, creating a stunning mural of hearts. Through this activity, we were able to show appreciation, love, and bring joy to the lives of many! And let's not forget the tasty prize for our lovely students or the spirit points for their participation! Many excited students came down with their unique hearts and left with treats as sweet as their messages. To decide the winners of the Shout Outs, the team with the most hearts would win. Can you guess which team won? Let's give a big round of applause for the winners and those who guessed it correctly, because the winning team of Valentine's Shout Outs was none other than team Alaka'i (4), aka Incredibles!! Their total amount of spirit points in the end was tallied into 150! We hope everyone enjoyed Valentine's Shoutouts! 2022 and congratulations to team Alaka'i!! Kayleen, Assembly Committee Chair

Valentine's 2022: Who's My Match?

Nothing speaks more of love than reuniting broken hearts! On Valentines, whether it’s romantic or platonic or for your friends or family, love is out there! Who's My Match: Valentines Edition was the sequel of the Thanksgiving Who’s My Match, but with broken hearts that needed to find their lost half. This activity started on the morning of Wednesday, February 9th, 2022 with a variety of pink and purple hearts with various designs like a beautiful heart engulfed in flames! These hearts were distributed to the period 5 teachers who gave each student half of a heart. When recess and lunch came around, students with a broken heart around their neck scouted out their lost half. When they were successful,  they could come down to the library courtyard with their other half during lunch and win a special sweet treat and spirit points for their team! This activity is always a joy to play, and we hope it brought you some joy and maybe sparked a new friendship! Marychris, Assembly Committee Chair 

My Secret Valentine 2022

Love is in the air at Highlands Intermediate School! This year, Student Government put together an activity called Secret Valentine’s for the students at Highlands and it was a huge hit! This activity allowed students to show their love for each other, platonic or romantic ;) Secret Valentine’s ran from March 8 to March 11, the week before Valentine’s Day. What a perfect activity to hype up the upcoming holiday AND lift the spirits up here at HIS! On March 8, Colts were able to buy gifts for one another and they could even keep it anonymous! These gifts included Valentines themed items like a variety of cute bears, squishies, sweet candies, sunglasses, and fresh roses. The line was SUPER DUPER LONG and it even lasted beyond the lunch period! And once the orders were in, Student Government worked very hard to make all of these orders from March 9 to March 10 and prepared for delivery on March 11. There were over 200 orders made and the suspense was real! Finally, the 11th came and all of Student Council helped out to deliver the gifts to every homeroom! As huge grins exploded across the faces of students across campus, it was clear that the activity was a huge success! Isabella, Student Government President
