One of my schools has been having an annual Grandparents Day the week before Thanksgiving break even before my kids went there. The big event was today and coincidentally happened while I was conducting a Book Fair...weird! The school was packed with these caring adults who came to support their grandchildren. It was such a heartwarming day to see all the smiles on faces - young and old - and the profound feeling of mutual pride. I remember when Don's grandfather attended this day when Paige was in Kindergarten and Alex was in 4th grade. The 4th graders were captivated by his stories which included how he rode his horse to a one room schoolhouse. Children can learn so much by listening to the stories of the older generations. And yes, the Book Fair did very well too!
