Today marks the 50th day of school for students at Dexter’s Southwest Elementary School. If you come across a first grader who attends Dexter school today, you may notice he or she is dressed as if they live in a different decade.
Today, first grade classrooms are taking advantage of this special day. A lot of students and teachers are dressed up in fifties attire.
If you stumble across one of the participating first graders today, you may think they starred in the movie “Grease.”
Many boys are wearing jeans with white shirts and some are wearing black jackets. A lot of the girls jumped into the festivities by wearing their decorative poodle skirts and some even have scarves decoratively tied around their neck.
In addition to dressing up for today, students in first grade enjoyed root beer floats and bubble gum.
The students in Mrs. Putnam’s class got very into today’s event as they are shown above posing with their teacher in their fifties attire.
This is a special day for the kiddos as it shows they are moving right along through the school year! Happy 50th day of school to them!
