On Friday, November 6, Olympia High School
hosted its annual Grandparents’ Day celebration with over 60 grandparents in
attendance, representing 48 students.
Grandparents began their day with coffee and
doughnuts and then met with their grandchild. Next they attended a 2nd block
class and participated in classroom activities. The special guests were served
lunch in the cafeteria and, after advisory, they went to a presentation in the
auditorium, including pictures of the day.
“Through this event, we get to show appreciation
to individuals who have an important role in the students’ lives,” said Dean of
Students Matt Hurley. “They enjoy getting the real feel of what school is like
for their grandchild and experiencing how it is different from their own school
experience.”
Senior Anna Adams said, “It was really fun to
have my grandparents at school. I was excited all week for them to come. They
are so funny and it was a great time.”
In advanced biology class, grandparents
participated in a fun dissection with the students as they learned about
different cuts to be made on their specimen.
Olympia High School has hosted Grandparents Day
for over a decade and will continue the tradition in the future.
