Grandparents't Tea

I’m already fielding phone calls about Grand Parents’ Tea. It’s an annual event in September for getting to know grandparents and encouraging them to be more active in the children’s school life.

With more people working outside the home, it’s hard to coordinate a party that includes everyone, so we make a special event every September just for Grandparents, but mom and dad are invited too.

The Tea will be on September 16 at 3:00 and include cookies and tea.

If it’s nice, we can go out on the patio which means the playground.

Getting to know the grandparents has always been a real pleasure. We are constantly grateful for all the help and care our grandparents offer us. I wonder how many of them know that they can have lunch with us any day simply by dropping by. We eat at 12:30 and we love the company.

Grandparents often ask, “What can we donate to the school?” The best answer right now is “Anything you want,” but things like candy, apples, bags of carrots for the animals, little $1.00 picture frames for the art shows, cat food, books, playground balls, paper towel, cookies, and things like that really help not only the expense of running a school like ours, but helps keep the errands down.

If grandparents like to work with children, they are always welcome to come by and do some reading or spend a few minutes telling a story. We’ll do crowd control, so you can have a straight shot at teaching.

When we start fall field trips, grandparents are always welcome to come. We go out the farm and take a hay ride which is a lot of fun. We also go to the haunted library for story time during the Halloween Season.

We’re a family place, and we welcome any and all contributions of time, talent and treasure.
