100 days brighter, 100 days smarter, and 100 days of fun! 💯✨
Students across Westside celebrated the 100th day in creative ways: some dressed as 100-year-olds, while pre-k lit up the day by counting all the way to 100 with glow sticks. Even the fifth graders had some 100 day fun. 🥳
We’re so proud of how much our students have learned and grown in 100 days! 🎉📚
