Grandparents and other “grand” adults are very important people in children’s lives. Children feel a sense of pride and accomplishment when they know that people in their extended family and community are vested in their education. So, we are having a special celebration!
We’re inviting the grandparents of our students to an event on Friday, November 22nd. This event is intended for students and their grandparents or a special “grandfriend.” We understand that all children don’t have grandparents and that some grandparents will be unable to attend. We encourage these children to invite another special friend - - like a relative, an aunt/uncle or any “grand” friend. Woodland Heights will also have volunteer “grandfriends” here. Some children are also happy to share their grandparents with a classmate. Sorry but our space is limited, so parents and siblings cannot attend this event with their student’s guests. A parent can however attend if they are the student’s “grandfriend” for the day.
Kindergarten through Fourth Grade students will spend time with their guests in the classroom. Refreshments will be served. After classroom time, children are welcome to visit our annual book fair with their special guest.
We welcome all of our guests to spend some time with your children this day! If you plan on allowing your child to check out, please email your child’s teacher. Also, due to space and parking we will not be able to host lunch guests this day.
The schedule for each grade is listed below:
K - 9:15-10:00
1st - 10:05-10:50
2nd - 12:30-1:15
3rd - 8:25-9:10
4th - 11:00-11:4
