Our students had an amazing time celebrating Hawaiian Day as part of our PBIS celebration! The school was filled with smiles, laughter, and tropical fun as students enjoyed a day of well-earned rewards for demonstrating positive behavior and making great choices.
One of the sweetest parts of the celebration was a special treat—students enjoyed delicious cookies shaped like surfboards or Hawaiian flowers!
Students also rotated through a variety of Hawaiian-themed games and activities, including:
Lilo & Stitch Yoga & Coloring Station
Hula Hoop Station
Hawaiian Coconut Relay Races
Hula Hoop Island Hop
Lei Tag Team Exchange
Sand Castle Station
Limbo Station
Lei Toss
The day was full of teamwork, laughter, and school spirit as students encouraged one another and had fun trying each activity.
We are so proud of our students for the positive choices they make every day that help make our school a welcoming and respectful community. Mahalo to our staff for organizing such a fun and memorable celebration!
