Students, faculty and staff alike were excited to welcome visitors for Shorecrest's 33rd Annual Grandparents & Special Friends Day! After a continental breakfast in the Athletic Center, guests were ushered into the Janet Root Theatre for performances from all ages. The concert band played, many grade levels sang, and the Upper School Thespians performed a teaser from their upcoming spring musical, Les Misérables. (The performance was streamed live on Facebook, and may be watched here starting at minute 11.)
Thank you to members of the Grandparent's Council, Tom and Donna Gaffney and Allan and Marilyn Katz, for addressing the crowd and reminding them that a strong community is what keeps amazing things happening at Shorecrest.
Next, visitors were able to head into classrooms. There they played ice breaker games, created Spanish Mr. Potatohead, starred in videos, read books, drove underwater remote controlled vehicles and much more.
The Grandparent’s Council encourages grandparents to get involved at Shorecrest and get to know each other. There are a variety of volunteer opportunities for grandparents at Shorecrest from volunteering in the library or a garden, helping with art or athletic events and more. The Council also organizes several social and learning activities during the school year. Attendees enjoy getting to know fellow grandparents and learning more about Shorecrest.
