Third Grade "Project Runway" for 100th Day of School

The Peck School held its annual Third-Grade Project Runway assembly on Friday. Lower School students, their teachers, and parents of third graders met in The Peck Commons to watch the fashion show—and it was a spectacle of color and creativity!

The challenge was simple but creative: to mark the 100th day of school, each third grader had to design and create an outfit using 100 of a favorite item. From collectable cards and puffy stickers to adorable dogs and cats, students used their imaginations to create unique and eye-catching designs. 

Project Runway is not only a fun and creative outlet for our third grade, but also teaches them important skills like problem-solving and perseverance. (And who knows, we may even see some of these young designers on the real Project Runway someday!)

As the show began, pairs of third graders strutted and danced down from the stage and past rows of their Lower School peers—showing off their handmade outfits with confidence and style. The designs were as unique as the students, including an outfit featuring 100 snowballs to 100 ornaments artfully dangling from a shirt, to a shoulder piece featuring 100 feathers in honor of Carnival.

"It was amazing to see what these kids came up with," said one parent, "Their creativity and imaginations were truly inspiring!"
