Good morning Vikings! This is your K-V-I-K-S News Bulletin for Friday, February 6th, 2026. My name is Ms. Waracka. Today's periods are 2, 4, and 6.
In honor of Mahina ‘Olelo Hawai’i, here’s a fun history fact. During the height of the Hawaiian kingdom, Hawaiians had a 97% literacy rate, meaning 97% of all Hawaiian citizens could read and write in Hawaiian. They even had over 40 newspapers!
