Sunday, Sept. 13, 2015, was National Grandparent’s Day, a day to honor our own grandparents and those in our community.
Mt. Vista School in Oracle invited the grandparents of some of their students to visit the school and spend some time with their grandkids. National Grandparent’s Day is the first Sunday following Labor Day.
President Barack Obama said in this year’s proclamation, “Across America, grandparents are loving pillars of comfort and support. After a lifetime of giving back to their families and communities, grandmothers and grandfathers continue to offer compassion and wisdom to their loved ones and inspire us to be our best selves. On National Grandparent’s Day, we honor the sacrifices they make and continue to show our affection and appreciation for them.”
And even if you missed the official day, go and give your grandma or grandpa a hug and tell them just how much you appreciate them in your life.
