The 100th Day of School

At my school (Willow Wood, for those that don't recall the name), we like to celebrate all sorts of things. Recently, our school won Best of Parade in the Brentwood Holiday Parade. It was our third year in a row winning. Amongst the other usual celebrations, we celebrate the 100th Day of School. You might be wondering, how does one celebrate the 100th Day of School...? (Unless of course, you've gotten stuck on the Why do you celebrate the 100th Day of School, a question I'm not going to address because I don't really know the answer). But, to answer how, we do it like this:


...we celebrate it with a hat of course! But not just any hat, a hat decorated with a hundred items! That's right. Our 100th Day Hat has 100 things attached to it! My 100th Day Hat had 10 groups of these ten items:

Squishy Frogs
Paperclips
Safety Pins
Monster Truck Stickers
Rubberbands
SpongeBob Stickers
Mickey Mouse Stickers
Zoo Animal Stickers
Legos
Metal Washers

Here's what that looks like in picture:





Not only were we tasked with making hats to celebrate the day, but at school we had a 100th Day Hat Parade (Apparently my school is big into parades as well). And after the parade, for snack time, we had 100th School Day Trail Mix (another at-home project where I got to choose ten of my favorite snack foods and make a 100 Day Trail Mix. You might wonder, knowing my limited snacking options, What could I possibly put into a trail mix that I would actually eat? Well, let me tell you:

10 Swedish Fish
10 Bow Pretzels
10 Cheese-Its
10 Gummy Bears
10 Rainbow Goldfish
10 Gummy Worms
10 Cheetos
10 Gummy LifeSavers
10 SpongeBob Cookies
10 Raisins

It was quite the unique trail mix, if I do say so myself. So, to all you schoolers out there, on this, the 100th Day of School, I just like to wish you all a very Happy 100th Day!
