TAYLOR PARKS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: Grandparents event is a special day



Grandparents Day at Taylor Parks Elementary School is always a special day.

It was March.  Kindergarten and first-grade students were able to invite their grandparents, or a very special person, to their school to spend a few hours with them doing very special things.  

Students, taking their guest by the hand, showed them their classroom, introduced their teacher and friends and together they created a craft project that will become a keepsake.  But there was so much more.  

Lifetouch Pictures were on hand to create a photograph that will definitely find a place on grandma's wall. A tour of the building came next with students proudly saying, "This is my computer lab" or "Meet my music teacher."

A big part of the visit was the Taylor Parks Book Fair. Together, students and their guest shopped in the library for that perfect book to read together. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, older brothers or sisters, all know that reading is the foundation of education.

It was a perfect day for all involved, and they walked away with memories to last a lifetime.
