When did the 100th day of school become a holiday? I tried googling it to find out but only found a TON of activities, worksheets, party ideas and favors, etc. focused on the day. Whenever it became a noteworthy day was after I was through school. I was deprived I guess. Not only did Evan have a project in which he was to do something with 100 things (as you can see, he and I constructed an army fort out of 100 Q-tips), he also made a necklace out of 100 fruit loops, had to do school work in 100 seconds, and other fun 100 themed stuff.
In my effort to find the history of the holiday, I even found this link to a song written to commemorate the day. If I were in school, I think I’d celebrate the 90th day–isn’t that the halfway point? But, I guess that’s not really the point.
