ENCOURAGER CAMPAIGN
We have a much-loved tradition of inviting our BA Grandparents to write notes of encouragement to their students as they prepare for their first-semester exams. A letter with a pre-printed note card(s) and a postage-paid return envelope will be sent to grandparents in October.
Because we know that not every student has a grandparent who is able to participate, there is also an option for a special guest to send the note of encouragement and/or attend Grandparents' Day.
To ensure your student does not miss out on this special tradition, please check the address we have on file for their grandparents and/or provide the information for their special guest. You can find and update this information at the link below.
