The Stu­dent Coun­cil asks that stu­dents come dressed in a hawai­ian shirt. They will also be pass­ing out leis at the event. There will be three rounds of games dur­ing the event, such as limbo, hula hoop con­tests and egg toss. There will also be corn hole out­side if the weather per­mits. When games are not be­ing played, there will be a dance floor open to stu­dents.
