Grandparents Day

Schedule: 
10:45 – 11:45 – Our K-5th graders will eat lunch and have recess. Grandparents may come anytime between 10:40 and 11:05 to connect with their elementary aged grandchildren and eat lunch with them.  After lunch, grandparents may accompany their grandchildren to recess and back to the class to see their classrooms and meet their teacher and classmates before accompanying them to chapel.

12:10 - 12:55 – Our 6th-12th graders will eat lunch. Grandparents may come anytime between 12:05 and 12:55 to connect with their middle and high school aged grandchildren and eat lunch with them. After lunch, grandparents may accompany their grandchildren to chapel. If a grandparent has grandchildren in multiple grades, they are welcome to stay through all appropriate lunch times.

1:00 – 1:50 – K-12 Special Grandparents’ Day Chapel – This special chapel will be student led. Our Student Government Officers will be the masters/mistresses of ceremony and our elementary classes will each share something special that they have prepared to honor grandparents.  

When you enter the chapel, the auditorium will have sections marked off by grade level. Please have grandparents sit with their child’s designated grade. There will be a section marked off for grandparents with children in multiple grades to sit together as a family.

Dress Code: Friday is our “jeans day” for teachers, so please let your grandparents know that dress is casual.

RSVP: Please (540-868-1231) or email ([email protected]) the office to let us know how many will be attending.

If your child does not have a grandparent in the area, you as parents are welcome to join them for the event or to invite someone to come as your child’s guest. But, if no one is able to come, please know that there will be many students without grandparents or parents here and the classroom teachers will make sure that they are well taken care of.  We may “buddy up” some with a friend who has a grandparent guest here.

Again, we look forward to this opportunity to honor our grandparents and highlight our students in this special chapel service.   Hope to see you then!
