100 Days In. Just Getting Started.
The Feb. 12 milestone was the spark โ the mission continues
LINDEN PUBLIC SCHOOLS, NJ -- On February 12, Linden Public Schools reached the 100th day of school, and our buildings did more than acknowledge it. They ignited it.
Hallways filled with laughter. Classrooms buzzed with creativity. Spirit was everywhere.
Students and staff marked the day in style, from shirts proudly declaring โI Survived 100 Daysโ and โ100 Days of Coffee & Chocolateโ to meaningful messages celebrating 100 days of learning and connection. And, of course, the beloved tradition returned. Students and educators transformed into playful 100-year-olds, complete with wigs, suspenders, oversized glasses, canes, walkers, and dramatic slow-motion strolls down the hallway.
It was joyful. It was spirited. It was memorable.
A Day to Remember
The celebration brought smiles, laughter, and a sense of togetherness across every school. It reminded us that milestones matter, not just for what they mark, but for what they represent.
And what this one represents is powerful.

More Than a Celebration
Beyond the costumes and festivities, the 100th day was a checkpoint, a moment to pause and reflect on how far we have come. This milestone is proof that progress happens daily, sometimes quietly, sometimes boldly, but always with purpose.
The Work Continues
