001Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Make sure I get all later. [Music] Please stop. [Music] Welcome everyone to our grandparents day program. I'm going to introduce our principal, Mr. Flanigan and he's going to tell us a little bit of why we celebrate Grandparents Day. >> I didn't even do anything yet. How about a round of applause for Mrs. Schlim? [Music] All right. I think this is set up for people even less vertically gifted than I am. So, I'll make I'll make it work. All right. So, we're glad to have you here. Uh so, we can celebrate the honor of being a grandparent. How does one get to be a grandparent? Well, you all know that it's pretty simple. Your children have children of their own. Grandparenting is an honor bestowed at the moment of a
002child giving birth. It's not a choice and many take it honorably while others see it as another turning point in their lives. However, and whenever it happens, you will probably agree that it is one of the greatest celebrations of the family that life has to offer. As a certified BAPA myself, I would hardily concur. So in 1973, Marian McQuade from West Virginia believed that there were many grandparents who were not being recognized for all that they do. So she was the first to be recognized for her contributions in promoting a celebration of grandparents. She was a mother to 15 children and to over 40 grandchildren. On September 9th, 1979, President Jimmy Carter declared National Grandparents Day to be the first Sunday after Labor Day. Governor Dus from Wisconsin helped pass and sign that bill. As
003grandparents, you bring so much to your grandchildren's lives. patience, experience, and the greatest of all, love. So, today we are going to share some of those wonderful memories you have given our students and show our appreciation for all of you. Thank you for being here today. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Hi.
