Mrs. Horr's kindergarten class was walking down the hall to lunch following the school hallway procedures when they were greeted by the principal and a pair of grandparents. The excitement was apparent in the body language and smile of the "grandchild" who belonged to the grandparents. He was working hard to decide whether to let his feelings explode and jump out of line to hug them or continue to show his grandparents what a "big kindergartner" he was along with his classmates. He chose the latter with a big grin in his "bubble." His grandparents joined the class for lunch and then read a story at their library time.
This was just one great experience among many as the KES library welcomed grandparents as guest readers all week this past week to celebrate Grandparents Day which is Sunday, Sept. 14. Each class had the opportunity to have a special guest read a story to them during the libary time. Several of the grandparents also came early and enjoyed lunch with their grandchild.
If you are a grandparent and you didn't have the opportunity to read to a class during this special week, contact librarian, Terry Miller, who would be happy to schedule a time for you to visit. If you are interested in other volunteer opportunities at KES, please call the office and ask to speak to your grandchild's teacher or to the principal.
