[KVIKS NEWS BULLETIN INTRO]
[T] Good Morning Vikings! This is your K-V-I-K-S News Bulletin for Friday, November 21th, 2025. My name is Ms. Tiffany and my name is Mr. Kea. Today's periods are 1, 3, 5, and 7.
[K] Today at Hilo High School
[K](11/21) Thinking about going to Winter Ball? Today’s your LAST chance to pick up your packet! Stop by the F Building during lunch to get yours before it’s too late. Don’t forget to bring a valid ID, like your school ID, driver’s license, or permit. Don’t miss out, Vikings — this is your final day to grab a packet!
[T] Coming up in the Career and College Counseling Office
[T] The United States Navy will be presenting information about the wide variety of opportunities available through their branch of the military. Petty Officer Rosie Lutunauga will be at Hilo High on Tuesday, November 25th at 8:30am during pd 1. If you are interested in attending, please see Ms. Lawrence or Mrs. Frias in N-103 to sign up and pick up a pass. We hope to see you there!
[K] What’s New Vikings
[T] Happy Financial Friday, Vikings! Did you know the U.S. actually stopped producing new pennies just last week? After more than two centuries, the penny has officially retired. It cost more to make a penny than it was worth… Even coins have budgeting problems.
The main reason? Each penny was costing nearly four cents to make, so the government was spending more to create a penny than the penny was even worth.
But while the penny may be gone, smart saving definitely isn’t. You can open a Student Credit Union account with just five dollars! Visit A-13 during lunch to get started. Small steps today can grow into something meaningful later.
[K] (11/21-11/24) Hey Sharks! Donʻt forget, on Monday, November 24, all freshman academy students will be meeting in the auditorium for a special presentation. Look for your STARS teacher and teacherʻs name tag to be marked present. See you all there!
[T] (11/19-11/21) Attention Hoʻāla Academy Students. Help choose your Academy colors by scanning the QR code on the screen or using the link in the Advisory Google Classroom to submit a vote.
[K] In Case You Missed It Vikings
[K] (11/18-11/28) Mock Trial Club Association is still open for new members! If you’re interested in joining or want updates, please join the Google Classroom using the code: d35uyb3k
[T] (11/4-11/21) Let’s show community spirit by participating in Student Association’s Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive, happening now until the week of Thanksgiving! Canned goods are being collected to support families in need and help ensure a memorable holiday dinner. To donate, bring items to Ms. Switzer in room A-17. Every donation counts! Donors will receive a small treat and the good feeling of helping others.
[K] KVIKS will be back after these messages
