YWA Families,
A few reminders for tomorrow, Wednesday, September 16:
💗 Grandparents Breakfast begins at 7:30 a.m. Please remember that this event is for prepaid ticket holders only.
🌎 Tomorrow is also Cultural Heritage Dress Day! Our Warriors are invited to wear clothing that celebrates or represents their family’s culture or heritage as we join our cafeteria team in celebrating Dieciséis de Septiembre.
Please note: This is NOT a free dress day. Students who choose not to participate in Cultural Heritage Dress Day are expected to wear their Wednesday formal uniform. Administration will be checking attire as students arrive in the morning.
💌 We also know that many of our Warriors have grandparents who live out of town or out of the country, or who simply aren't able to join us tomorrow. We don't want them to miss out on celebrating them! We will have a special table in the cafeteria where students can write a postcard to their grandparents. YWA will provide the postage and mail the postcards for our girls.
We look forward to a special morning celebrating the grandparents, families, cultures, and traditions that make up our YWA community! 💗
