The Most Special of Days
What a wonderful time we had welcoming so many special people to campus last November! We loved seeing the excitement of our students as they got to share so many pieces of their daily life here at Collegiate with those who are most important to them.
We are already looking forward to this year's gathering and are excited to announce that we will be celebrating all Grandparents Day activities on one day, Friday, November 20th. We hope this change makes it more accommodating for grandparents and families that have children in multiple divisions.
Friday's activities for Middle and Upper School divisions are geared specifically toward grandparents. Early Childhood and Lower School's programs are meant to be enjoyed by the entire family, so parents and other family members are welcome during their child(ren)'s program.
