🎉💯 100 Days of Growth! 💯🎉

On February 11, our elementary students celebrated the 100th day of school with engaging activities across multiple grade levels!

Here are just some of the ways students celebrated throughout the day:

📚 Reading 100th day stories
🧠 Solving logic puzzles
📝 Creating lists of 100 words sorted into categories and writing 100 nouns and verbs
🎂 Writing about what they would buy with $100 or want at their 100th birthday parties
🍬 Tackling the classic challenge—figuring out how many licks it takes to finish a Tootsie Pop
🎨 Drawing 100 animals
👕 Wearing 100th day t-shirts and making 100th day headbands

Best of all, these activities seamlessly tied together many subjects, including art, math, reading, science, and writing, to make the day both meaningful and memorable. It was a perfect way to celebrate 100 days of academic growth! 🧡🖤

🦺🚸 Snow, Rain, or Sun: Our Crossing Guards Are There! 🚸🦺

Whether it’s bitter cold, blazing heat, or something in between, we appreciate Mrs. Megan Dahms, Mrs. Katie Griffin, Mrs. Meg Ramlow, Mrs. Tammy Routson, Ms. Stacy Sharp, Mrs. Shanda Still, Deputy Matt Crouch, elementary principal Mr. Michael Newcomer, the ESC staff, and others for making sure our students arrive safely each day.

Their dedication, consistency, and care don’t go unnoticed. They greet students with smiles, positivity, and upbeat music and play a significant role in keeping our school community safe and the drop-off line moving every morning.

We appreciate them for standing watch, no matter the weather, and for the important work they do every day!
