Friday, Feb. 13 was our 100th day of school here in the Pine Bush Central School District! Woo hoo!

Our younger students in the elementary schools celebrated by dressing like 100-year-old people, which is always a highlight of the day. It also included lots of 100-centric educational activities. Like sorting and stringing candies and cereal, stacking cups and Jenga blocks, counting objects, putting together 100-piece puzzles, creating hats with 100 dots on them, and so much more.

At PBE, the first and second grade hallways are filled with activity while the students participate in different activities in each classroom. They learned how many pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters make a dollar. They used 50 marshmallows and 50 toothpicks to see what they can make. They put dots on strips of paper, cut them out and created wacky hats with 100 dots. They did puzzles with 100 pieces and strung 100 beads! Most importantly, they acknowledged that they are 100 days brighter!

Great job to all! There are just 80 schools days left in our school year. My how time flies!
