Higgins And Aaron Parker Elementary Celebrate Grandparents Day

Grandmother Stormie Evans reads a book with grandson Jennings Jones.

 

In celebration of Grandparents Day, Higgins Elementary and Aaron Parker Elementary opened their doors to welcome grandparents into classrooms for a heartwarming day of storytelling and reading. Students were treated to special moments as their grandparents shared personal stories from childhood and read aloud from favorite books.

The event created a bridge between generations, allowing students to learn about life in the past while fostering a love for reading. Many classrooms were filled with laughter as grandparents recounted tales of growing up in a world very different from today’s while students eagerly asked questions about what life was like when they were young.

The event was part of the schools’ ongoing effort to create strong connections between families and the educational experience at both Higgins and Aaron Parker Elementary.

As grandparents read beloved stories and shared their memories, the students gained valuable lessons about literature and history, as well as about the importance of family connections and storytelling traditions.
