A huge thank you to everyone who helped with the coordination of Grandparents’ and Special Persons’ Day yesterday – the HSA counted 272 attendees! During the ceremony, Mrs. Kanute read some funny and touching quotes from our students talking about what their grandparent or special person means to them.
Below are some pictures from yesterday.
