Who knew learning to count could be so fashionable? 😉 To mark the 100th day of school, our students became designers for the day! They worked hard creating vests decorated with 100 items—from pom-poms to stickers to googly eyes! 👀 After all the hard work, we wrapped up with a celebratory fashion show. It was wonderful to see their confidence shine as they walked the runway. Great job, Pre-K and K! ❤️
