One hundred days and counting

Jefferson Elementary School first-graders Alexis Hinckley (front left) and Catherine Miller (front right) read from a choice of 100 books during Thursday’s school-wide celebration of 100 Days of School. Other activities for the first-grade students of teacher Lori Jacobson included making 100-link construction paper chain, hitting balloons for 100 times, and creating snacks with 100 pieces of candies and treats. Jefferson Elementary is one of several area schools which observe their 100 days in school with fun and educational activities.
