For the 100th day of school, I interviewed our elementary schools to see what students and staff had in store. First, I visited North Middletown Elementary School, where I interviewed Kindergarten teacher, Miss Akin, and what activities she had the students do. Students crafted hats with strips of tin, made cup towers out of Dixie cups, wrote a hundred letters, provided a hundred blocks to make anything out of them and a hundred number stickers to place on a gumball machine, and jumped for one hundred seconds. Miss Akin believed that “the students enjoyed being able to participate in these activities because the students had the opportunity to get out of their same routine.” However, the celebrations didn’t stop there, North Middletown Elementary School also hosted a 101 Day where I interviewed two first graders about their 101 Dalmatian Dress-Up. Hadley enjoyed participating in the event and her favorite part about it was “reading a puppy book.”, while Grayson was “over the moon with the whole event” and his favorite thing to do was “making cute little dog posters.”
Next, I visited Bourbon Central Elementary School, where they mainly treated the day like any other day, but some children had exciting things to say as to what they did that day. Harper dressed up as an old granny and that class started a new project with Allison, whose class received Capri Suns.
To wrap up the 100 Days celebrations, I visited Cane Ridge Elementary School and I met their sweet librarian, Sarah Meeks. Mrs. Meeks, Sarah Jarvis, and Sandie all popped popcorn and gave it out to everyone in the school building. I interviewed three 5th graders in the library, starting with Taylor, who told me “my class got to enjoy their popcorn in class and have a fun activity with a hundred hair clips.” The next 5th grader Christopher said he “loved seeing everyone dress up as old people” and his cousins “did an activity with a hundred balloons seeing if they’d fly.” The final student interviewed was Reid Cider. Her favorite thing was “watching people walk around pretending to be old people and she enjoyed the popcorn from the beautiful PTO.”
Here’s to 100 days in the Bourbon County School District!
