Grandparents Day and Parents Weekend

Last week, Tabor students welcomed over 200 grandparents to campus to spend the day within the Tabor community. Grandparents traveled from all directions to come and shadow their grandchildren throughout a typical day at Tabor.

Upon arrival, the guests enjoyed a performance by Tabor’s string ensemble and then met up with their grandchildren to attend classes. The class day was not varied, but grandparents were welcome to join in on discussions and get a taste of the everyday life of a Tabor student.

There were a number of different activities for the grandparents to take part in and learn about Tabor’s history and various programs. The students then brought their guests to lunch where they had the opportunity to take photos with their grandparents to commemorate the special day.

After classes were over, grandparents could spend the rest of their visit with the students at practices, games, or after-school activities.

In two weeks, it will be the parents’ turn to come and visit campus for a variety of activities. On Parents Weekend, there will be a variety of seminars to attend to learn more about Tabor’s history and future. For example, parents can attend lectures about college planning and about the Senior Project Program. On Friday night, the parents will have the opportunity to visit the observatory, attend drama rehearsals, or experience the process of creating the next art exhibit. The next day, parents can spend the day at class with their students to meet teachers and participate in discussions. The weekend will conclude with home games on the Tabor campus for all parents and visitors to attend. It will be an exciting and busy weekend for all involved!

October 11 will be the Tabor Open House, another opportunity to share the campus with guests through a tour of the campus and special opportunities to get a taste of life at Tabor.

The fall is a busy time on campus, but it is always special to take a moment to share the Tabor experience with family and the community.
