Why do we celebrate grandparents day?
The History of Grandparents Day


Marian McQuade hoped to establish a national day that would honor grandparents, and in 1970 she be-gan a campaign to do so. McQuade raised awareness about senior citizens throughout the 1970s. In 1978, President Jimmy Carter declared the first Sunday after Labor Day to be National Grandparents Day. Each year, the president issues a proclamation to keep the tradition going. Grandparents Day has both an official flower and song. The official flower is the forget-me-not, and the song is Johnny Prill’s “A Song for Grandma and Grandpa.” Both were chosen by the National Grand-parents Day Council.
Grandparents day activities and gifts
Let’s appreciate all the joy and wisdom that grandparents bring to our lives!
Many schools celebrate Grandparents Day with special activities or assemblies. Students often invite their grandparents into the schools for a day, and the children find creative ways to celebrate their grand-parents. Some towns will also hold special events for Grandparents Day.

Most grandparents don’t care what activity they do they just want to spend time with their grand-children. Maybe ask your grandparents to show you one of their favorite hobbies. Many National Parks hold special Grandparents Day events, and it can be fun to spend time with your grandparents exploring nature. If your grandparent would prefer a calm day, ask them to show you their favorite movie. No mat-ter what, the best Grandparents Day activity involves you and your grandparents together, celebrating your family and each other.
