Grandparents and Grandpals
(special older friends) are invited to visit their community schools
for a half or full day of learning about education today. The special
visitors also participate through sharing stories of life experiences
and cultures. Schools develop a Grandparent Day Committee and our
staff assist educators and parents with developing the event format
and coordinating activities for the day. Past events have included
activities such as: students organizing a talent show for visitors,
a festive community parade, storytelling, classroom visits, heritage
language and classroom performances and providing a luncheon for
seniors. |
