A Great Lunch!



Last Friday we had the pleasure of visiting our granddaughter's elementary school to share lunch with her, an annual event that is organized by the teachers, staff, and volunteers.  It was a pleasure to see the many, many grandparents and great-grandparents that attended.  Residents  of a nearby retirement home joined students who did not have grandparents able to attend the event and shared it with the children. So well-planned and so exciting for everyone!!

  2. It's a great feeling when one participates in their grandchildren's lives. At least that's how it works for me,

  3. I love the idea of inviting folks who might not have grandchildren nearby to be "grandparents" to kids who might not have grandparents nearby. And what fun for you!

  7. Sounds like a nice event, especially since so many grandparents are taking a much more active role in raising grandchildren nowadays.

  9. My kids brought their grandmother to their school's grandparents day celebration. It was always fun. I don't have grandchildren, so maybe I need to go on the list for substitutes.

  10. A lovely and caring idea inviting people who may not have grandchildren to be a part of grandparents day and for the children too who don't have grandees, or perhaps their grandparents live too far away.

  12. A lovely idea inviting people who may not have grandchildren to involve them in this and also for the children - perhaps their grandees live too far away.

  13. It's an idea that I hope is becoming more widespread ... a lot of kids are distant from their grandparents. I especially like inviting folks from the retirement home who might find this a joyfilled experience.
