Feature: Grandfriends Day

Academy Hill will host its annual Grandfriends Day on Friday, November 9. Grandfriends Day provides grandparents, aunts, uncles, other family members or adult friends an opportunity to visit Academy Hill students during a "routine" school day. The children love to welcome the special people in their lives into their classrooms for an engaging, immersive tour of our academic day. Come meet your students' friends, attend classes and enjoy recess at Academy Hill. Please make sure that your student's grandfriend contact information is on file at the main office. You may send your grandfriends' names and addresses to Miss Kelli by
