Iola High School students, faculty and staff spent much of Thursday morning outdoors, celebrating the last day of the school year.
The rowdy group of teenagers participated in games, races and relays — including a high-energy version of volleyball using water balloons and towels.
The teams were made up of students by grade level, as well as faculty members.
