GRANDPARENTS’ DAY – WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27 – 10:00 A.M.
We are so excited to host our traditional Grandparents’ Day program tomorrow at 10:00 in the gymnasium! The special program is for grandparents, grand-friends, and family. This is a special day and is a wonderful way to start the holiday season! Doors will open at 9:15. We ask that you do not hold or save seats, as we are expecting a big crowd. Please allow as many grandparents to sit comfortably as possible.
We ask that all students dress to impress for our program. Students may wear dresses, skirts, sweaters, blazers, khakis, shirt and tie, etc. No jeans or sweatshirts, please. School dismisses at noon. Lunch will not be served and the afternoon buses will NOT run.
