Grandparents Day
What children need most are the essentials that grandparents provide in abundance. They give unconditional love, kindness, patience, humor, comfort, lessons in life. And, most importantly, cookies.
--Rudolph Giuliani
Each year Hendricks Day School sets aside a special day to honor our grandparents. This week we were privileged to host our grandparents on Friday, March 5th. We kicked the morning off with our flagraising ceremony, which included patriotic and Spanish musical performances by our second through fifth graders, as well as performances by our cheerleading and pom squads. Our students' art projects were on display and grandparents were invited to visit their grandchildren's homeroom classrooms. We concluded the morning's celebration with a school wide brunch. We are so grateful for grandparents and the special role they play in the children's lives!

7th Graders at High Tea
On Monday, March 8th, Mrs. McKay's 7th grade geography class celebrated their study of the United Kingdom by having a High Tea Party. The students attended the Tea Party in character as someone who was born in the United Kingdom (from the past or present). While Mrs. McKay supplied the tea, the students brought many of the foods that might be enjoyed at an English High Tea such as grapes, chocolate dipped strawberries, Yorkshire pudding, shortbread cookies, scones, finger sandwiches, ham, lemon bars, etc. The guests at the High Tea were Alfred Hitchcock, Mary, Queen of Scots, JK Rowling, Emma Watson, Graham Young (the teacup poisoner), Paul McCartney, Horatio Nelson, Robert Blake, George Roger Waters, Margaret Thatcher and Shawn Wright Phillips. As the students sipped their tea and munched on the goodies, they shared information about themselves and asked questions of each other. It was interesting and fun for all! Cheerio for now!
