2024 Grandparents & Grandpals Day

Grandparents & Grandpals

Join us!

On Friday, March 8 at 8:15 a.m., Providence Lower School is casting off early to “Castaway Island!” Please join us as we celebrate our Grandparents and Grandpals on campus.  Our featured performing artists this year are “The Conch Fritters” – a local steel pan band who skillfully combines authentic Caribbean melodies with their own unique arrangements.  

Grandparents and Grandpals should come dressed in their best cruise attire or island resort-wear to help us create that laid-back, island feel.  The event begins in classrooms at the school at 8:15 a.m. Pre-show music by the Conch Fritters begins at 9:15 a.m. in the New Life Christian Fellowship Sanctuary.  At 9:30 a.m., our lower school students will bring the sounds of the islands to you for your listening pleasure.  This program will last approximately one hour and will be live-streamed for those unable to join us.
