Words with Wilson
Grandparents are such wonderful examples of love and kindness. When I think about my own grandparents, my heart always smiles. I remember how excited they always seemed to be when I would come to visit. Both of my grandmas were the very best listeners. They never judged and always loved unconditionally.  

As my grandparents were one of the greatest blessings in my life, so too are the grandparents of the students at St. Roch Catholic School. Please enjoy some quotes from our students about Grandparents and what they mean to them….

Bailey Kinnaman says, “I love my grandparents because they have taught me how to be respectful.”

Vivie Hayes replied, “ Grandparents are the kindest people!!! They always know how to cheer you up.”

Zeke Littell had a cool memory about his grandparents, “We went to see their puppies, and it was really fun!”

Abram Noriega added, “Grandparents are the greatest thing to have because they love you so much, and you can always trust them.”

James Guthrie said, “Very nice to have them here at school for Grandparents Day! I love to show them my daily routine. I love to be around them!”

Lily Rutherford offered, “ My grandparents mean the world to me! I would not be who I am today without them! They do so much for me.”

Lucas Sigler added, “I love my grandparents so much! I am thankful for all they do for me.”
