11. Fear Factor is held in October so students have had time to collect enough Sand Dollars to purchase a ticket. Our second semester event is the Luau. This is another extremely popular PBS Experience.

12. Set up and organization for the Luau requires dedication and a tremendous amount of teacher and student labor.
