D12 – 100th Day of School!
On Thursday, February 22nd, D12 students celebrated 100 days of school! Students dressed up for the occasion, either as though they were 100 years old, or with homemade shirts with 100 items on them.
We would like to congratulate Esther Fawehinmi (Kg), Kira Luchka (G2), and Daniel Jarema (G4) for winning our dress-up competition! It was tough to choose winners with so many fantastic costumes!
D12 students separated into their houses for some fun-filled activities, crafts, and competitions! They thought of 100 ways to be kind, did 100 sports exercises, and created funky hats for their teachers to wear using strips of 10. They also competed with one another, creating lists of 100 words based on a variety of different categories.
We had an absolute blast!
