Happy Grandparent's Day!

I absolutely love grandparent's day, but I realize that at the same time it can be a bittersweet day for some. There are some children who are very fortunate to have a grandparent that lives nearby or a parent that can take off work and come to visit. There are some however, that cannot. I want to thank everyone who came today as a parent, grandparent, relative, or just a visitor for including my other children into your "nest" at lunch. All of my children felt included and special (which they very much are) and I thank you for that! Please remember it doesn't have to be a special occasion to come and visit. I have an open door policy so you can come any time and visit and eat lunch with the children. I also want to thank you for all of the support that you have shown towards our school. We celebrate Grandparent's Day for three days at Stamping Ground and yesterday we had 116 visitors, and today we had 168! That is amazing!!!

What children need most are the essentials that grandparents provide in abundance. They give unconditional love, kindness, patience, humor, comfort, lessons in life. And most importantly, cookies. ~Rudolph Giuliani
