We had some very distinguished guests at Farmington Central Elementary yesterday! To celebrate the 100th Day of School, our students transformed into their 100-year-old selves—complete with grey hair, glasses, and plenty of "old-school" style.
It wasn't all just sitting in rocking chairs, though! We kicked off the morning meeting with a burst of energy, completing 100 exercises to prove that 100 is the new 10. From 100 days of learning to 100 reps of fitness, our students are officially 100% awesome.
Check out these centenarians in action! 👇
