Grandparents Day Oct. 2

Brookfield Academy welcomes grandparents and other special guests to spend the morning at school on Friday, Oct. 2. After 8:15 a.m. morning assembly, breakfast will be served in the Freedom Hall gym at 8:30 a.m., followed by a program of patriotic songs and poems presented by students. Classroom visits begin at 10 a.m. Students always take great delight in showing their grandparents and other special guests what they are learning in school.

An annual event, Grandparents Day brings more than 400 grandparents, great-grandparents, and special friends to Brookfield Academy, where they are transported about the campus on golf carts driven by volunteers. In the past, grandparents have traveled from as far away as South Africa and India to attend this event. Founders of Brookfield Academy will be represented among the great-grandparents in attendance.

Lower and Middle School students are dismissed at noon, allowing them time to spend the afternoon with their guests. The Narnia and MAP programs are available for students who need to spend the afternoon on campus.
