Grandparents and Special Adults Day is April 25

Grandparents Day

On the afternoon of Friday, April 25th the Governor’s School Foundation will sponsor Maggie Walker’s annual Grandparents’ and Special Adults Day. Grandparents or other special adults of all current Dragons are invited to come to campus, hear a bit about our wonderful programs, and take a tour with their grandchild(ren) at the end of the day.

Attendees should have registered with Ginger O’Neil at the GS Foundation by March 25th.

Important Parking Info:  Because parking is very limited, we will be running a shuttle from a satellite lot within walking distance. Please consider dropping off and picking up your guests if this is problematic. More details about the location will be available closer to the event.

The event will begin at 2:30 pm with a short presentation in the auditorium, followed by a reception with guests’ students at 3:15 pm. Students are encouraged to show their guests some of their favorite spots around the school once the halls clear. The final shuttle will depart for the parking lot at 4:00 pm.
