What do smiles on children’s faces, picturesque hallways, energetic activities, and the number 100 have in common? Well, ever since this school was established ten years ago, Calvary Christian Academy has celebrated the first 100 days of school as one of the many events that comprise the climax of the exciting school year. This year, Calvary Christian Academy Elementary celebrated the 100th day of school on Tuesday, February 9, and everyone, including teachers, got involved in the fun.

But, what’s in the number? Curious minds wanted to know. “The purpose of the 100th day of school is to take time out to thank the Lord for His goodness to CCA for the past 100 days, to encourage the students to press through the third quarter, and to encourage our community to keep morale high by offering a day to express school spirit,” said Susan Alexander, elementary principal.

Just as a snippet of the excitement of the 100th day of school, here’s how some classes participated… Kindergarten put 100 random, wacky items on a t-shirt; second grade teachers dressed up like they were 100 years old, while some of their students dressed up like people who lived 100 years ago. Third grade wrote 100 prayers, created and decorated posters and T-shirts with 100 objects, as well as created a number 100 with the school desks. Fourth grade wrote “100 reasons why we love CCA” and “100 things to be thankful for.”

“I love CCA because I love God and I want to get closer to Him,” wrote a fourth grade student, displaying his “100 reasons why we love CCA” on a poster, as encouragement for all.  “I can’t believe we have completed 100 days of school,” said Third Grade Teacher, Dawn Vitulli. “It was great to see all the school spirit throughout the halls of CCA.” Overall, this event was enjoyed by all of elementary and was a nice escapade from the normal schedule.
