Last week, Veritas Preparatory School marked the 100th school day with laughter, learning, and a creative celebration as kindergarten and first-grade students dressed as 100-year-olds and took part in a full day of 100-themed activities.
From gray wigs and suspenders to walking canes and oversized glasses, students arrived in costume, delighting teachers, classmates, and parents alike. The playful outfits set the tone for a day that blended imagination with meaningful learning.
Throughout the day, students rotated through activities designed to reinforce the concept of 100. Students counted to 100, completed a 100-themed coloring packet, and completed 100-year-old warm-up exercises, including jumping jacks and stretches.
“100 is the best number ever,” said 1st-grader Lily Ernst. “101 is also good because that’s how many Dalmatians there are.”
Part of Veritas's ethos is the Biblical directive that parents bear the primary responsibility for their children's education. Veritas teachers partner with parents to bring that education to life. This means that grandparents are of the utmost importance in the training-up of responsible children. The 100-day celebration provides students with the opportunity to play dress-up, but more importantly, highlights the crucial role of grandparents in a child’s development.
Grandparents are frequently on campus at Veritas, assisting teachers in the classroom, reading to students in small groups, or volunteering in other capacities. The school hosts a Grandparents’ Day every year to honor the importance that extended family plays in the lives of young children.
The 100th day of school is more than just a fun tradition at Veritas - it’s a meaningful milestone that highlights student progress and perseverance. By combining creativity with hands-on learning, Veritas continues to make education both joyful and engaging for its youngest learners.
