Celebrating the Blessing of Grandparents at TCS
By Samantha DePriest
At Trinity Christian School, we recognize the powerful role grandparents play in the lives of our students. The love, encouragement, and wisdom they provide have a lasting impact on children’s wellbeing and development. Scripture reminds us, “Children’s children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children” (Proverbs 17:6). Their presence offers a source of support that nurtures confidence, character, and faith. Each of these are values that we value within our school community.
Each year, a day is set aside to honor the relationships of our grandparents and special friends. On Friday, January 16, grandparents and special friends were welcomed back to campus for this special occasion. It provided an opportunity for grandparents to experience a day in the life of their student by visiting classrooms, meeting teachers, and sharing in moments that make TCS such a special place.
Students look forward each school year getting to introduce their special guests to their teachers and show them their desks and all around their classrooms. In the gymnasium was the “Specials Experience” where they could learn more about our Arts, Music, Steam, and PE programs. One favorite activity each year is the Lower School Book Fair.
While TCS is deeply committed to partnering with parents to provide a quality education in a safe, Christ-centered environment, we also value the meaningful relationships formed with grandparents. Together, we share a common goal: to guide and support our students as they grow academically, spiritually, and emotionally.
Grandparents & Special Friends Day is more than just a visit, it’s a time to create memories that will be treasured for years to come.
