Grandparents’ Day Reminders (Pre-K 3 – Grade 5, November 6)

Grandparents’ Day Reminders (Pre-K 3 – Grade 5, November 6)

We look forward to celebrating Grandparents’ and Special Friends’ Day at the St. Mark’s Campus on Thursday, November 6. Grandparents are invited to attend special Chapel services at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, followed by refreshments and classroom visits. The full schedule by grade is located below. 

 

If parents are interested in experiencing Grandparents Day, please sign up to volunteer online. Because so many of our grandparents are unfamiliar with campus, we rely heavily on volunteers to help greet guests, guide them to classrooms, and create a welcoming, memorable experience! This is such a wonderful tradition on campus and your presence makes a huge difference in the event. 


We ask that all guests please RSVP online or contact Lauren Griffith at (904) 388-2632 ext.1226 or griffithl@esj.org with any questions or to RSVP by phone.
