Students in the Lower School at San Marcos Academy celebrated Day 100 with their traditional octogenarian parade through the Middle and Upper School hallways Feb. 11. But this year, they did more than just dress up to mark the occasion.
In order to incorporate a community service component to their celebration, the Lower School set a goal to collect 100 cans of food per classroom to benefit the Hays County Food Bank. With the hashtag “#KindnessCan” as their theme, the 136 Pre-Kindergarten-fifth grade students launched their food drive and began stacking up their cans at the beginning of February.
On the eve of the 100th day of school, each of the classes had met their goal, collecting more than 1100 cans of food.
