ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TURNS 100

ig Thompson Elementary School student Ali Fischer, 10, runs the bases in her 1920s-era dress during a game of kickball Thursday during the school’s 100th birthday celebration. Students wore prairie outfits that might have been worn in 1921, enjoyed cupcakes and learned from librarian Ava Wild that the school’s first principal was also its custodian. A community celebration is planned for Oct. 7 at the school in the foothills west of Loveland.
