Grandparents' Day

Grandparents' Day is just around the corner, November 22. This is one of our long-standing traditions and a day that we cherish. We love to share our school with people who have had a meaningful impact on the lives of our students.

A postcard invitation will be mailed to all guests whose addresses have been given to us. If you missed the deadline, please contact Sarah Sekel at ssekel@bishopdwenger.com.

11:45 am Academic Open House
- Have your grandchild take you on a tour of the school! Enjoy the Art Gallery, Show Choir, & Instrumental Performances, and visit the Eucharistic Miracles exhibit together!

12:45 pm Dismissal

Students who drive to school are not permitted to park in the BDHS lot but must park at the Northcrest Shopping Center just south of school on Clinton. Busses will be available at 7:00 am to bring students to campus. Please have your student plan accordingly.
 
We know that not all of our students have grandparents who are able to join us. Therefore, if that is the situation for your family, we encourage your student to invite another influential person to join him/her for this special “multi-generational” day- an aunt or uncle, a godparent, a special neighbor, even you! 
 
We look forward to starting our Thanksgiving holiday with these special people for whom we are so grateful.
 
Remember, your child is expected to attend school that day whether or not he/she has a guest coming to visit. Students will be marked absent if not here. Should you have any questions about this day, please contact Mrs. Slee or Mrs. Sekel in the Development Office.

Make a gift in your grandchild's name!
