Happy Day 100! This Wednesday, we celebrated the one hundredth day of school in many mathematical ways! Kindergarten mathematicians created “one hundred things” vests and “built” the number 100 in a variety of ways throughout the day. We kicked off the day with a grand parade, led by Zero the Hero, singing all the way (to the tune of It’s a Small World):

Joining our parade was Mr. Tom Griffey, Director of the Milwaukee Rescue Mission. Tonawanda students raised $1,950.11 in the penny drive – an awesome contribution to families in need!! Mr. Griffey carried the large check to show his gratitude on behalf of the Mission and those they serve. What a wonderful day!
