Albany Middle School
Grandparents Day Celebration
Theme: “A Generation of Love”
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Albany Middle School is excited to invite all Grandparents to join us for a special evening of love, laughter, and celebration!
Date: Friday, September 26, 2025
Time: 5:30 PM
Location: AMS Cafeteria
This year’s theme, “A Generation of Love”, reminds us of the invaluable role Grandparents play in our families and community. Our students have prepared a wonderful show filled with entertainment to honor and celebrate the Grandparents in our lives.
We welcome all Grandparents, near and far, to be part of this celebration—you don’t have to have a student currently at AMS to attend. This event is open to our entire community as we show our love and appreciation for the wisdom, guidance, and care that Grandparents bring.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me via phone at 229-431-3325 or email lou.hardy@docoschools.org
We look forward to seeing you there as we honor “Grandparents”!
Warm regards,
Ms. Lou Hardy, Parent Facilitator
