I have always found it curious that it was strictly for the junior school. Raising a family takes a village and the matriarchs and patriarchs are "key players" in many families. They are "walking, breathing encyclopedias" and their importance to grandchildren , no matter the age, should not be under estimated.

Grandparents are amazing in their capacity to be teachers and very special friends. Zoe,

They’re always there and they teach me many things. My grandpa is an economist. He helped me adopt a child from Uganda in Africa. We each donated an amount of money, we wrote letters to the child, and sent small gifts. He told me that there are people in need and we can help them. My grandpa also wrote an article about Venice in the 17th century and had it published. Grandpa is also writing a book about it, but isn’t finished. He taught me many things and is a very interesting person to be with. My grandma loves to garden. It’s her favorite thing to do. I can ask her what type of flower is what and she’ll know all the names. Sometimes, my mom and I need to call grandma on the telephone to ask if a plant is a weed or not or what plants grow very well in this climate if we can’t find the answer in a book. My grandparents taught me many things and are unique in their own way. -Zoe Fargnoli Brown (grade 5) To me, my grandparents are some of the most important people in my life.
