A Grand Day in the Elementary

Grandparents Day was Friday, September 19. The Kindergarten through 2nd grade session went from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., and 3rd and 4th grades went from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. On Grandparents Day, the kids appreciate their grandparents and show them what they have made for them. The kids can give their grandparent a cookie and  anything they have made for them.

Future Teachers of America (FTA), helped out with Grandparents Day. Sierra Riggs, a member of FTA, has worked Grandparents Day before.  She said members of FTA help the grandparents to the correct classroom and anywhere else they need to go.

When the grandparents arrived, they were seated in the gym to watch a program. After the program ended, the grandparents took a tour of the classrooms.  After the tour, they took a picture with their grandchild and then visited the Book Fair. After the Book Fair, the grandparents escorted the children back to their classrooms.

Kinley Peck, a kindergartener, said, “I like when I get books [at the Book Fair].”  They showed their grandparents around the library and what books they wanted to buy.  Shelly Crawford, a grandparent, said that her favorite part of that day was the program.
