Welcome to Grandparents' Day
What better way to find out what grandparents mean than to ask our students?
A poem by Mary Steele, award-winning Scholars' Academy poet.
Grandparents
What does it mean?
It could mean someone to play games with
Someone for you to help cook
Or help set the table at dinnertime
Someone to share all the fun with
But it also means someone
To share traditions with
Someone to laugh with
Someone to cry with
Like second parents
That will always be there for you
Someone to share stories and memories with
Someone to guide you and watch as you grow
That is what grandparents are to me,
And they will always hold a place in my heart.

According to Ms. Moschel's class: Grandparents are loving, old, entertaining, funny, smart, tired, nice, cool, wise, fun, kind, and awesome.
According to Ms. Bernard's class: Grandparents are funny, sweet, kind, fun, nice, boring, cool, happy a lot, very special, helpful, intelligent, wise, smart, very grate people, gently, creative, and loving.
According to Ms. Millers class: Grandparents are awesome, smart, amazing, fun and exciting, caring, different, special, old (in a good way), cool, needed, funny, wise, kind, cool, extraordinary, give us life, nice, and loving.
And from our sixth and seventh graders we learn that grandparents have good food, drive slow, - and are nice, loving, brilliant, happy, awesome, sweet, cool, willing, in New York, grand, kind, funny, magnanimous, wise, caring, old, cool, spoil you, successful, exciting, short, warmth, experienced, working, experienced, and amazing.
With warmest regards to all grandparents today.
