The 100th day of school offered an opportunity to meet with someone who has lived for more than 100 years.
The 100th day of school is more than just a milestone worth noting at Holland Township School.
For kindergartners, the concept of 100 is dazzling so this year the kindergarten students had the opportunity to meet someone that was 100 years old. The students tied in their learning service project into the 100th day.
They designed shirts that represented the number 100 and wore them to school. All morning the students worked at various stations working with the number 100. Then they made birthday cards for a township resident who is 101 years old, Dottie Wieder.
The students also did chores around the house to earn a dollar so they could purchase a large sheet cake and a bouquet of flowers to present to Miss Dottie on the 100th day. They sang Happy Birthday to her and listened as she talked about her life experiences.
