On November 4, 2011 we combined the forces of students, parents, teachers and staff to honor the grandparents who sacrificially served our country, raised our families and contributed to our communities, and who continue those efforts today. Breakfast was served to over 300 grandparents on our elementary campus, followed by entertainment and time in the classroom with their grandchildren. After lunch 100 grandparents were honored at the secondary campus with performances by the orchestra, worship team, presentations by Tina Hendricks (8th), Sam Valrey (8th), Lydia Buerer (11th), and Elizabeth Andrus (12th), then off to the classroom with their grandchildren.
Grandparents were recognized for their accomplishments and presented gifts. Below is a list of recognitions for the elementary grandparents who were in attendance.
