I Mua Week 2016 at KS Hawaiʻi

October 14, 2016

An annual tradition at KS Hawaiʻi, I Mua Week is five straight days of celebration, with each day organized around a theme with students encouraged to dress-up and participate in the daily activity. Over the years, I Mua Week helps to build the school culture and provide an occasion for students to create memories that they will remember and cherish for years beyond their graduation. The week kicks off with an assembly and culminates with the football game. This year's themes included Mauka 2 Makai, Disney characters and Athletes & Mathletes. On Friday, students dressed in blue and white on 'Proud to be a Warrior' day and held a K-12 Pep Rally before the JV and Varsity Football game that night versus Kealakehe. Alumni are also invited to return where and when they can throughout the week to join in the celebration.

On Thursday, the high school hosted their annual powder puff game (held in Koaiʻa due to rain outside), in which the wahine take the field tossing the pigskin around in a competition between classes.




The boys cheer squad for the game shows off some acrobatic tricks for the crowd.




At Friday's K-12 Pep rally, the kula haʻahaʻa team of hope poʻokumu Wai Paleka (driving) and new poʻokumu Dr. Kathleen Werner, give everyone something to cheer about in their festive cart.

Teams comprised of haumāna from each school level competed in a relay race organized by the student activities committee. From changing a doll, to hula hooping to wrapping football players up as toilet paper mummies, students tried to complete the activities as quickly as possible before passing along to their teammate.




After a tough-fought and rain-soaked game versus Kealakehe, players gathered to celebrate the seniors on Senior Night.
