Students fill Hawaii’s ‘furlough Friday’ with field trips, projects

HAWAII: Hawaii's public school students have now gone two straight Fridays without classes, but they're still learning a thing or two — about hard work, about ohana, even culture. In Kahuku yesterday, the under-8 boys soccer team was practicing at the district park, high school seniors were sweating through a landscape project at Kahuku Medical Center, and the Vimahi family — five kids and mom Lori — was busy at a recycling project at home.
