On Thursday, December 17, 2009 Grandparents and special friends of our students braved the winter cold and snow for our first annual Grandparents Day! We received many words of praise and of overall enjoyment on the morning activities! Although we were a bit spatially challenged our wonderful guests were extremely understanding.
Guests were welcomed by our Head of School, Mrs. Jan Novotny, and were then escorted to their child's classroom by the elementary students. In the classroom the students truly shined as they demonstrated their work. Some of the grandparents took their students home and out to lunch while others stayed and continued with the rest of their day.
We are so grateful to all that participated. A special thanks to Dawn Polacek and Kathy Bertani for helping with the food set up! If you have any helpful feedback, please email Sue Bebar at sue@jolietmontessori.org or call her at 815.741.4180.
We look forward to next year and hope you will too!
