The students of Grant School, put their best foot forward in many ways especially with decorations!


As the seniors began to arrive, their coats were taken by students...


... they were entertained with Holiday music by Grant's String Ensemble.




Then School Board Member Ed Favre, gave a little talk about Pearl Harbor Day, the State of Hawaii, and the significances of days like Pearl Harbor Day, 9/11, etc.

A great time was had by all. It is always interesting watching three different generations interact.

It looks great, thanks for the article and photos, well done, wish I could have made it, a chance to mingle, with people around ,my age, I did rsvp, I drove there, I know where Grant School is, but the parking is confusing, I'm old, a first timer, directions are challenging, I wasn't sure which door was the entrance into the building for the event. I wish they had outdoor signs stuck into the ground, ( temporary signs, like "for sale", indicating, parking, entrance to "Lakewood Schools Breakfast" , I didn't want to walk in a door, and have someone say, what are you doing here? so I came back home. I would donate my talents and time to make the signs for the organization if they would like.
maybe next time?
