Grandparent's Day @ Billy's School

Today was a really fun treat for Tommy and I, we were invited to Grandparent's day at Billy's school! Billy is in Kindergarten at the Heritage School, this was our first time to attend Grandparent's day at school, so we were very excited to go and share this time with Billy! This is Billy's first year at the Heritage School, he is doing really well in school and seems to really like his teacher and all his fellow classmates. Tommy and I arrived at the school about 8:30a, we met up with Billy's parents (our son Brian, and our daughter in law Gerie) our first stop was the Student Life Center, they had a beautiful table set up with donuts, bagels, all kinds of different breads, along with coffee, and juice! After we had our coffee and pastries, we heard alittle of the history of how The Heritage School was started...2010 marks the schools 40th anniversary! The 3 families who founded the school were in attendance today! We also heard from 2 Seniors at the school, one who has only been at Heritage for 2 years, and one who has been at Heritage her whole school career, both had wonderful things to say about their experiences at Heritage and the wonderful atomsphere of the school! Next was the Music Program each grade performed at least one song...The theme for Grandparent's day was a Halloween kind of theme...our invitation said Come for a Monstrously good time with your grandchildren! So all the songs were kept within that theme...Billy's class, along with the other Kindergarten class sang "Flying Purple People Eater!" They all did a really great job, Tommy and I had a really good time! After the music program we were able to go to Billy's classroom, Billy's teacher made a DVD of all the kids saying how grandparents made them feel and then had pictures of each child with each of their grandparents! It was really sweet, and the teacher made a copy of the DVD for all of us! Billy said "Grandparents make him feel happy" You make us extremely happy, Billy!! Our last stop was to go to the book fair! That was fun! Billy headed straight for the Star Wars books, Granddaddy and I couldn't resist buying Billy a couple of books! :)) Since it was Grandparent's day, Billy was able to leave early, so we all headed out for lunch, we had a great time spending our day with Brian, Gerie, and Billy! (and Thanks for buying Brian!! We appreciate and love you and Gerie so much!!)

Here are a few pictures we took at Billy's school today:
