Yesterday was our 101st day of school, and our students took a fun break from being Bulldawgs to don their Dalmatian spots instead!
They celebrated by taking turns counting 101 phrases they hear throughout the day and coloring their very own 101 Days hats. It was a paws-itively fun way to mark 101 days of learning, and growth!

We loved seeing the creativity in what they brought too… noodles, toys, and even rice made an appearance! What a hands-on way to celebrate being 100 days smarter.
We are so proud of how far our students have come in just 100 days! Here’s to many more moments of learning and joy! 🐾💛💙
