Our Towns

Students at Thomas Paine Elementary School in Garden Grove on Monday celebrated the 100th day of instruction. Students and faculty, working from the concept of “100 days smarter,” used various math concepts and word prompts using the number 100. Some decorated shirts and others dressed to see what they might look like at the age of 100.

Paine is part of the Garden Grove Unified School District.
