Grandparents and Special Adults Day on May 1

Grandparents Day

On the afternoon of Friday, May 1st, 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.

MLWGS families were invited to register their guests with Ginger O’Neil at the GS Foundation by April 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 the 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.

    AY27 Snapshot #2: Coming back to life

    The mornings are getting darker, summer is winding down, and there is a different kind of energy around school. I guess I should be sad to see summer go, but that means the school year is right around the corner. And, of course, school supplies. I already have pastel pencils, felt-tip pens, binders, and more…
