It was a special day for kindergarten and first grade students at Mandalay Elementary School on Feb. 9. They reached the 100th day of the school year, making them that much smarter. 

In kindergarten classes, children dressed up to look like they were 100 years old. They also colored 100-day crowns proclaiming themselves “100 days brighter.”

In both grades, children enjoyed a variety of activities, such as building towers with 100 cups, rolling dice and adding up the numbers until they reached 100 and doing 100 exercises. They celebrated with other coloring and reading activities that made the milestone day one to remember.
