Grandparent's Day at WPS

We always encourage families to come into school and see what their children are doing. But, once a year, we especially invite grandparents to visit and eat lunch with their grandkids. Friday was the big day. The thing is, I can't go to eat lunch with my grandchildren-- one set lives out in El Paso and the other two live in North Carolina-- and I work. I know that other grandparents are in the same position. Kids might know this, but it doesn't feel any less lonely when some people have guests and others don't. With this in mind, I make it very clear that the invitation is extended to ANY family members and they are all welcomed in to visit. Some grandparents could come, some parents could come but there were still a few who were not able to have anyone come in. Since it was a special day, I wanted to do do something special for everyone, so everyone was invited to eat out in the gazebo. Children who had visitors could choose to eat in the cafeteria, in the classroom, or they could join us to eat outside. What a fun lunch! Here are a few pics from the day.

There are a few guests that I did not get photos of but, I'd like to thank all of those who could come and remind everyone that we have an open door policy. You are welcome to come in anytime! We'd LOVE to have you join us for a day or even an hour. I hope to ee you again, soon!
