Outside the Box – Ashley Bleeker
This year, “Strong Roots Make Beautiful Leaves” was the theme of the Grandparent and Special Friends day hosted at RSI (Renascence School International). This was one of RSI’s annual events, hosted to celebrate and honor an incredibly important group of people in our students’ lives.
Students were invited to bring their grandparents and special friends on campus for a morning of connection before classes began. All in attendance enjoyed conversation over breakfast, time with one another doing crafts, and celebration as a community. RSI also celebrated veterans who have served our country. A handful of grandparents in attendance were veterans themselves.
At RSI, we value community that involves the many people surrounding us, not just those within the student body. We encourage our students to value those in the community surrounding us, whether in our city, region, or across the world. Part of this community, are those who have gone before us, our grandparents and special friends. It was a wonderful morning of celebration and we are so grateful for the many ways these individuals support our students!
