Grandparents and Special Friends Day

Grandparents and Special Friends Day is a time honored tradition at USM. Each year, on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, students arrive at school eager to share all that they have learned with their grandparents and special friends. Guests are invited to attend a special breakfast before joining their grandchildren in their classrooms for a morning of fun!

Grandparents and Special Friends Day 2021

Thank you to everyone who has joined us over the years for Grandparents and Special Friends Day. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Grandparents and Special Friends Day 2021 has been canceled. We look forward to when we are able to safely welcome the grandparents and special friends of our students back to campus, and it is our hope that this will be possible in 2022. Until then, we hope everyone stays healthy, and we look forward to welcoming you back to USM soon.
