Pleasant Ridge students<br />
celebrate Grandparents Day<br />
“THE<br />
8TH WONDER<br />
OF THE WORLD. ...”<br />

Each year students in the<br />
Tree Program at Pleasant<br />
Ridge invite their grandparents<br />
or another special<br />
adult to visit their school.<br />
With Thanksgiving being<br />
time for family, this gives<br />
students the opportunity to<br />
share their learning with<br />
their grandparents.<br />
The students and grandparents<br />
enjoyed refreshments,<br />
toured the school<br />
and spent some time on<br />
activities together. To<br />
close out the morning,<br />
grandparents were invited<br />
to speak in front of the<br />
78 students and visitors.<br />
They shared stories from<br />
their past, imparted some<br />
of their wisdom and expressed<br />
their love for their<br />
grandchildren.<br />

According to Elly Koopersmith,<br />
a Tree parent: “I<br />
think the most special part<br />
of Grandparents Day is<br />
when our guests stand up<br />
and tell short stories: a story<br />
about their own childhood,<br />
a story about their<br />
own experiences in school,<br />
a story about the foreign<br />
country from which they<br />
came, or a story about<br />
their grandchild, the TREE<br />
student. The love for their<br />
grandchild is evident in<br />
each word.”<br />
“<br />
I’ve reviewed about 4,000 SHOWS. None can<br />

—Richard Connema, renowned Broadway critic<br />
“Absolutely THE NO.1 SHOW in the world!”<br />
— Kenn Wells, former lead dancer of the English National Ballet<br />
“The HIGHEST AND BEST of what humans can produce.”<br />
—Oleva Brown-Klahn, singer and musician<br />
“Poetry in motion... PRICELESS.”<br />
“It is food for my heart and soul....”<br />

“I just wish there is a way that I could cry out to mankinds,<br />
