MCPS Grandparents’ Day

On Sept 16, 2025, Mitchell County Primary School was overflowing with love as the school celebrated Grandparents Day. The joy was undeniable as grandparents enjoyed doughnuts, sat side by side with their grandchild to complete an interview survey, and filled the building with smiles, laughter, and cherished memories.
The program opened beautifully with three second grade students who gave the welcome, poem, and purpose, reminding us of the special place grandparents hold in our hearts.
Mrs. Detrell Hawkins of Kate’s Club, a grief support organization that provides care and comfort to children and families navigating the loss of a loved one gave a short talk for the crowd. Her words offered encouragement and hope to all who attended.
It was truly a joy to see so many grandparents come together, surrounding their students with love and support. The day was a beautiful reminder that grandparents are not only part of our families but also a vital part of our school community
