February 7 marked the 100th day of the 2023-2024 school year in the Mountain View School District and students across the District’s eight schools celebrated being 100 days smarter as they commemorated reaching the school year milestone.
Teachers and staff incorporated fun activities that emphasized the number 100 including dressing up as 100-year-olds, counting 100 items like fruit loops and pennies, designing and wearing 100-day sashes, hats, glasses and necklaces, building creations out of 100 Legos and Linker Cubes, making 100 shaped pancakes, writing about what they’ve learned over the past 100 school days, completing math problems and creating posters and artwork.
Pint sized golden oldies were found at a few schools with students going all out to lovingly emulate 100- year-olds with their outfits including canes, walkers and gray hair.
"We’ve learned a lot the last 100 days at school,” said first grader, Aubrey Vazquez. “I really like all the math stuff I’ve learned like adding and subtracting. Math is my favorite thing to do and I can’t wait to learn more and get smarter.”
Throughout the past 100 days of school students have not only built their academic skills but learned the importance of good citizenship, character development and personal well-being by being kind, respectful and responsible and participating in social-emotional learning and lessons.
The 100th day is a little more than half way through the school year and MVSD is proud of all that has been accomplished by the students and staff.
“I am extremely proud of our students for their efforts during the first 100 days of the school year. They have worked hard, completed an incredible amount of work and reached several goals in their learning.” said Dr. Raymond Andry, Superintendent.
“I also want to commend our entire Mt. View team of teachers, classified staff, support personnel, administrators and Board members for providing our students with 100 days of outstanding instruction, excellent support, and unending dedication to their success and well-being. Together, we’ve accomplished a tremendous amount and we look forward to finishing the school year strong.”
