Groups of “100-year-old” kindergartners and first graders paraded through the halls of Ocean Avenue Primary School on Feb. 14 to celebrate their 100th day of school.

Students were excited to design “100 Day Smarter” crowns using colored pencils and markers and used their imaginations to color celebratory cupcakes using construction paper. They were even happier to enjoy the experience with their parents, who were invited to the school to participate in the festivities.

Prior to the day’s celebrations, the students spent time creating posters, using pennies, cheetah spots or pom-poms, that their teachers used to decorate the walls of the kindergarten and first grade hallway.
