Grandparents are often our children’s biggest cheerleaders, but they don’t often get a chance to see the kids in a school setting and meet the children’s classmates. To build the bond between the generations, EFO, the Parents Clubs, and Orinda elementary schools have joined together to give grandparents just this opportunity!
EFO is thrilled to announce its proud sponsorship of Grandparents’ Day 2012.
Grandparents of Del Rey and Wager Ranch students are invited to campus on March 16, while grandparents of Sleepy Hollow and Glorietta students will be welcome on campus on March 23.
From 8:00 to 10:30 am, grandparents are invited to visit their grandchild’s school for breakfast and a warm welcome, by the principal, join in interactive classroom lessons with the kids, and tour the campus and some enrichment facilities. Don’t miss out!
Register for Grandparents Day Today
Everyone is welcome and it’s free to attend, but we’d like to know who’s coming. While not required, if you know you’re coming please register for Grandparents’ Day 2012 by March 6. By registering, the teachers, staff and EFO volunteers can plan for each grandparent’s visit to their classrooms and campus.
We hope to lots of grandparents attend and show support for their grandchildren and Orinda schools.
