Better Together! Lower School Welcomes Grandparents and Special Friends for Magical Morning at St. Margaret’s

More than 500 special guests joined Lower School students for the annual Grandparents and Special Friends Day –a joyful morning with a breakfast and Chapel service, classroom visits and, of course, quality time with loved ones.

 

An annual springtime event, Grandparents and Special Friends Day is an opportunity for loved ones to visit campus and the Lower School, and for students to share their everyday experience at St. Margaret’s.

 

With a theme of “Better Together,” Lower School students read prayers, offered reflections and performed while grandparents and special friends enjoyed breakfast inside Pasternack Field House. The music program including “We’re Going to Be Friends” performed by kindergarten, “You’ve Got a Friend” performed by grade 1, “Peace Train” performed by grade 2 and “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” by grade 3.

 

The grades 4 & 5 band, orchestra and choir students also performed, and guests were officially welcomed by Head of School Dr. Jeneen Graham and Lower School Principal Jennifer Blount.

 

The special guests then visited their students’ classrooms to meet teachers and friends and view work students completed this school year.

 

The event was organized by Lower School professional community, chaplains and the Advancement Office, with help from many parent volunteers. St. Margaret’s would like to thank the grandparents and special friends for your love and support, and to everyone who helped make the morning so memorable.
