Crestview Celebrates the 100th day of School! (Finally!)

Crestview celebrated the 100th day of school on Thursday, February 4. Students in grades K-2 celebrated in many different ways. Some made necklaces out of 100 fruit loops, some completed the writing prompt "If I had $100 I would..." and others showed off collections of 100 things. Pictured below is Chase Kumm, a second-grader in Mrs. Kellogg's class. Chase celebrated by blowing 100 bubble gum bubble (WOW!)
