Shirts You Can Count On

For its 50th anniversary celebration, Golden Meadow (La.) Upper Elementary encouraged students to wear 50 of any item on a T-shirt. Students let their creative juices flow—decorations ranged from safety pins and taped paper clips to fuzzy balls and pennies. All students who participated had their picture taken for a commemorative book. Similar to what many schools do for the 100th day of school, this is a simple idea that could be used to mark any anniversary or special occasion.
