Students at Malverne’s Maurice W. Downing Primary School and West Hempstead’s Chestnut Street School celebrated their 100th day of school on Feb. 13 by dressing as if they were 100 years old.
The students enjoyed their classes with grayed hair, rollers and facial hair, dressed in classic fashions, with hats, horn-rimmed glasses, pearls, suspenders and bowties. Many of the young old-timers walked hunched over with canes in hand, and some were even equipped with first alert pendants, in case of emergency.
The 100th day of school wasn’t just about dressing up. Students in both schools participated in various “100-themed” lessons and activities throughout the day.
