Every Autumn the school has a very special celebration called GrandPal's Day. Each year grandparents and special friends come from around the country, sometimes even from around the world to be honored by our children. They are treated to coffee, juice, muffins and serenaded by the RCS Band. Then they are led on a personal tour of the school by their very own "Grand"child. Every GrandPal leaves with a bag filled with artwork keepsakes. This past year GrandPal's were offered the opportunity to share their wisdom with us and this is what they had to say:
