Grandfriends Day Recap

5/15/2019

Tuesday, May 7 marked our biggest Grandfriends Day celebration to date. Over 270 grandfriends joined us for a morning of music, videos and school tours with their Greenwood student hosts.

Student volunteers guided visitors up to the gym, where their grandchildren met them and they settled in for presentations. Sarah Bruce opened the morning by welcoming all of the guests and expressing her gratitude for such an amazing and supportive community. She was soon followed by the Greenwood Choir, who gave an excellent performance of the song “Jolene” by Dolly Parton.

We also had a great performance by the Grade 10 music class and by Catherine McFadgen ‘22, who sang the song “Maybe”from the film Annie. Our grandfriends also watched videos showcasing our arts, athletics and Outdoor Education program, and heard from Charlotte Keating ‘19 about her experience at Greenwood over the past few years.

Once Mr. Lougheed closed the assembly by thanking our grandfriends for their continued support, the students took their grandparents on a tour of the school.

Thank you to all the parents and grandfriends who joined us for Grandfriends Day!

We acknowledge with gratitude the Ancestral lands upon which our main campus is situated. These lands are the Ancestral territories of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, Anishinabek and the Wendake. The shared responsibility of this land is honoured in the Dish with One Spoon Treaty and as settlers, we strive to care for the land, the waters, and all creatures in the spirit of peace. We are responsible for respecting and supporting the enduring presence of all First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. When away from this campus we vow to be respectful to the land by protecting and honouring it. We will create relationships with the people and the land we may visit by understanding the territories we enter and the nations who inhabit them.
