Rising Star Leaders at Reinhard Early Childhood Center in the Bellmore School District reached a milestone on Feb. 8 as they celebrated the 100th day of school in grand fashion.
Students sported jerseys or shirts with numbers or 100 items and were greeted by a “Happy 100 Days” display outside the main entrance. As they entered the building, they immediately noticed the main hallway converted to the “100th Hall,” decorated with 20 clusters of five balloons lining the walls totaling 100.
Students later gathered in the hallways for the exciting second annual Cereal Box Domino Challenge. Rising Star Leaders in the Student Advisory Council led a collection drive for which they received over 750 boxes of cereal to donate to the Bellmore-Merrick Community Cupboard. All the boxes were lined in the halls like dominoes and children throughout the building cheered as they fell.
Additionally, students scavenged to find 100 high frequency words and the numbers 1 through 100 hidden throughout the halls, while second graders were challenged to add up to 100 in as many ways as they could. Kindergarteners created museums toured by their peers that showed many ways they could represent 100.
