My Grand Family (a group including WSSD grandparents raising grandchildren and WSSD foster families) extends an invitation to all families that fall into these categories to come to their monthly meeting. The first meeting will be held Friday, September 1 at Bentley's Restaurant at noon. This group will continue to meet the first Friday of each month for the 2023-24 school year. Occasionally, we will have announced meetings at the school with guest speakers.
