YHS Welcomes Grandparents and Grandpals

Grandparents and grandpals came to visit their Yorkies on our annual Grandparents’ Day.

The day started with a reception and refreshments in the Gail Ruddy Foyer, followed by a presentation in the theatre. Head Girl Helen welcomed Grandparents by speaking on how much her own grandparents, and this special day, means to her. Grandparents were then treated to a special presentation from the Grade 3s, and four musical performances.

The rest of the day was spent touring the school and visiting classrooms. In the Junior School, the girls had a chance to show their grandparents special projects they have been working on. There were experiments in the Science room, robotics demonstrations in the Grade 7 classroom, and story time in the Junior Learning Commons. Shuttle buses also took grandparents to the Little School.

This special day is a wonderful way to honour Yorkie grandparents. Grandparents’ Day is one of our most cherished York House traditions and is held every Spring.
