Grandfriends' Day A Hit
Grandparents and special friends of Craig lower school students gathered the day before Thanksgiving for breakfast, a morning of classes and a puppet show.
The third annual Grandfriends' Day took place at the Lower School on Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving. Over 70 "grandfriends" (so-called because the group includes adults in addition to grandparents who have a special relationship with the children) enjoyed a breakfast with the students and then attended morning classes. The grandfriends were given an abbreviated schedule with each class lasting about 20 minutes. Many of the teachers organized games and contests for their "students" which generated some heated competition. During the last hour of the morning, the entire school assembled in the auditorium for a puppet show performed by the Catskill Players. The show, Hiawatha, was chosen because one of the principal characters was a grandmother.
