Grandparents & Special Friends Day for Full Day Early Program
Friday, May 5th | 1:45 to 2:45 p.m.
Grandparents & Special Friends Day is a wonderful opportunity for Early Program Full Day children to share school experiences with a grandparent(s), relative (aunt, uncle, cousin), or friend (neighbor, nanny). During the afternoon, the children share a favorite activity with their guest, and introduce them to their teachers and friends. In the weeks prior, you and your child should consider whom you'd like to invite. If you do not have a person in mind who can attend, we will make sure your child will have someone from Caedmon, like a Specialist teacher, their book buddy, or another friend from the school. Please be sure to reach out to your child's classroom teacher to let him or her know who will be coming on this special day.
