All In The Campaign for Blair Academy 2018-2025
Blair Embraces Grandparents' Day
Blair Academy

As Blair opened its doors yesterday to families from near and far for the School’s annual Grandparents’ Day event, students seized the chance to make memories with their grandparents, offering them a peek into their daily lives. From attending classes and sharing lunchtime conversations to enjoying concert performances and cheering on athletes, Grandparents' Day provided a joyful opportunity for everyone to reconnect.

"Grandparents’ Day is a very special day and one of our favorite events on campus," shared Advancement Associate Diane Kowalick. "Grandparents have an opportunity to experience the hospitality of the Blair community and meet their grandchild's teachers, friends and mentors. It is heartwarming to see the cheerfulness of the students and grandparents throughout this beautiful day."

Below, please enjoy a collage with just a few of the highlights of the day.

The summer is an ideal time for Blair students to read beyond the required texts of our curriculum. Short stories, novels, plays, poetry, narrative nonfiction and newer forms of literature, such as the graphic novel, offer the opportunity to follow one’s curiosity, strengthen reading and writing skills, develop a greater understanding of the human condition and, of course, have some fun.
