The Out-of-Door Academy Lower School welcomed grandparents and family friends to the campus Friday morning.
Head of School David Mahler was at the Lower School to greet guest to the campus.
“I’m not sure who is more excited the grandparents or the students,” Mahler said. “The relationship between a grandparent and a child is a special relationship. This is a tradition at Out-of-Door Academy for several generations.”
Students hosted a musical performance to start the day with themes of food and nutrition. The campus-wide theme determined by Head of Lower School Tanna Horner is “Recipe for Success.” Students have been learning about healthy eating habits throughout the school year.
The theme was carried through on Grandfriends Day with activities that included planting an herb to take home and measured out ingredients in a jar for their own sea shell soup. Each guest was also given a cookbook to take home with favorite recipes contributed from ODA families.
