Douglas County students were encouraged to dress up as 100-year-old people last week to celebrate being in school for 100 days. This 100th day marks the halfway point of the school year and provides an opportunity for elementary schools to reflect on what students have learned.
Student and teacher costumes varied from gray hair, canes, walkers, pajamas, and robes to sweaters and overalls. Along with their creative outfits, students brought in 100 items to visually understand the concept of this number. Students also engaged in activities that centered around the theme of 100.
At New Manchester Elementary School, the students were also filled with high energy and excitement. The 100 Black Men of Douglasville made a special appearance, forming an enthusiastic welcome line at the school's entrance. The group, known for their commitment to supporting Douglas County students, brought an extra layer of significance to the 100th-day celebrations.
Principal Tanyia Clagette says the 100 Black Men showed New Manchester scholars that the entire community is cheering for their success.
"We are grateful the 100 Black Men of Douglasville partnered with us as we celebrate the 100th day of school," she said. "Their support and participation played a huge role in making the day a memorable and exciting experience for our students. It was wonderful to see everyone come together to create an atmosphere of joy, learning, and community."
