On February 13, the lower school students and faculty welcomed Macon East grandparents to their annual Grandparents Day program. In 1978, President Jimmy Carter signed a proclamation declaring Grandparents Day as a national holiday to honor grandparents and help children become more appreciative of the guidance and love they offer. This year’s program, which the students also performed for the residents at Wesley Gardens earlier in the week, was called “Acts of Kindness.” Through songs and recited word, the preschool through sixth grade students shared how random acts of kindness and giving to others while expecting nothing in return brings the greatest joy.
