Celebrating The 100th Day Of School In Hicksville
S
tudents and staff in the Hicksville School District marked the 100th Day of School on March 1. During what has been an unprecedented year, reaching this milestone with school buildings open called for celebrations across the district’s elementary schools. In honor of the day, students dressed up as 100-year-olds and also wore 100th Day of School shirts. Classrooms were even decorated with the number 100. Many students participated in counting activities and arts and crafts surrounding the day’s theme. While in-person learners took part in activities in the classroom, remote learners were still involved. Many dressed up from home and took part in virtual projects.
