Grandparents' and Special Friends' Day

Grandparents' and Special Friends' Day

On May 2 and 3, Oakwood School hosted beloved grandparents and special friends who traveled from near and far to learn more about the Oakwood School experience firsthand.

Grandparent Christine Paradiso, and parent Ashley Paradiso, to three current Oakwood students, shared their time and talent as our Grandparents' Day Co-Chairs this year and we are so thankful for their dedication to our community as we expanded this event to our entire lower school this year.

All Lower School students looked forward to sharing some of their accomplishments with pride and excitement. In the gym, grandparents and special friends also enjoyed the magnificent Spring Art Show. With delicious refreshments, spring concert performances by students from 1st through 5th grades, classroom visits, and photo opportunities around campus all taking place in one morning, there was a very festive atmosphere creating wonderful memories for both our students and our cherished Oakwood School extended family!
