MARQUETTE -- It was a Hawaiian island at Superior Hills School in Marquette Thursday morning, right down to a hula dancing principal.

Principal Mike Woodard accepted the challenge of learning to hula dance in front of the school after the students met their reading and writing goals for the month of March.  The kids completed themed challenges every week and finished off the month with Hawaiian Day.
    
It's not the first time Principal Woodard has braved the kids' challenges, all in the name of learning.

"I've been a cheerleader, I've been a leprechaun dancer, I've had a hula hoop contest with the kids.  Just about anything you can think of, I've had that opportunity," said Woodard.

Principal Woodard said he'll continue to do silly activities for the kids, as long as they continue to meet their reading and writing goals.
