The 100th day of school has long been a special tradition in elementary education, marking the incredible growth of students as they become 100 days smarter. This year, Burke School took the celebration to the next level by involving both middle and high school students in hosting engaging activities for our BG-5th grade students.
Each high school class brought a unique learning experience to the day:
Seniors led a fun and creative art activity that had students expressing their 100-day achievements through artwork.
Juniors helped younger students master their 10s while making a delicious 100th-day trail mix.
Sophomores put their engineering skills to the test, challenging students to build the tallest towers using 100 marshmallows and 100 toothpicks.
Freshmen kept the engineering fun going with a 100 solo cup tower challenge, encouraging students to build the tallest or most creative structure.
While high schoolers exercised students’ minds, our middle school students got them moving!
8th graders organized a Race to 100 game using giant dice.
7th graders created a "This or That" activity to keep students engaged and active.
6th graders took movement a step further by having students perform 10 different exercises while also moving to the letters of their names.
This exciting day wouldn’t have been possible without the support and dedication of our amazing school staff. Each staff member played a key role in facilitating activities and making learning exciting for our students.
A huge thank you also goes to our fantastic Cougar PALS (Parents Advancing Learning and Success) for providing the supplies that brought these activities to life. Their generosity covered $247 in materials, ensuring every student could fully participate in the fun!
The 100th day of school was a true testament to the power of collaboration, creativity, and community at Burke School. Here's to many more days of learning and growth!
