At St.Peter School, we set aside a day to honor and cherish our grandparents and veterans. This day has become known as Grandparents Day. On Grandparents Day, we started off with a student-led Mass, followed by the student body performing a special program, singing about all their blessings and feelings of appreciation towards our very special loved ones. Nancy Thompson and Julie Butner, our two music teachers in chief, have put on the music program of the year! There were a number of patriotic songs, such as “America the Beautiful” and “When the Flag Goes By.” In addition, the students also sang songs of our faith about how grateful and appreciative we all are for our numerous blessings that have been given to us. Grandparents that were interviewed following the program expressed appreciation of seeing the kids and community come together as one. Another grandparent commented about the message of love, feeling it radiating throughout the whole gymnasium. Like our music teachers, the committee went above and beyond. The committee this year consists of Mrs. Carol Griffin, Mrs. Susan Finlayson, Ms. Katina Tiffany, and Mrs. Nancy Thompson. Notable embellishments include setting up a Veterans Wall, picture stations, and refreshments. The Veterans Wall was made up of loved ones that have served our nation. It included pictures of the veteran, rank, their names, and time served in the military. In conclusion, Grandparents Day was wildly successful this year, creating memories that will last a lifetime!
