Special
event for special people

We're looking forward
to seeing the grandparents of our Early Childhood and Lower School
students tomorrow (Tuesday, November 20) for Grandparents/Special Friends
Day. Our teachers and students have been preparing for weeks with musical
numbers and displays. Registration begins at 12:30 p.m.
We ask parents,
however, to remember that this event is intended for grandparents only.
We have limited parking and auditorium seating. If our special visitors
have difficulty getting around, we will try to accommodate additional
family members attending the event to assist them.
Thank you for your
cooperation!
