Today HR kindergarteners celebrated 100 days of learning by marching in a special hallway parade dressed as superheroes! Each student designed their very own superhero cape decorated with 100 items — from stickers to feathers to stars and sparkles. Here’s to being 100 days smarter, braver, and stronger! 💙🏫
