There are not many things more special than the bond between grandparents and their grandchildren. On Grandparents\u2019 Day, held on September 25, 2025, the Wyoming Seminary community came together to celebrate that special connection through a meaningful chapel service, followed by a delicious lunch.

The day started with the chapel service in the Kirby Center for Creative Arts, led by Wyoming Seminary\u2019s very own Reverend Carrick. He spoke passionately about the importance of spending time with grandparents, speaking about his memories with his grandparents and how blessed he feels to have spent that time with them. The Chorale ensemble also performed, with Hannah Salesky \u201826 playing the cello and Ricky Qian \u201828 playing the piano alongside them. Nancy Dahal \u201828, a member of the chorale ensemble, had a great time performing with the choir, saying \u201cas a member of the ensemble, I was enthusiastic going into the performance! It was truly lovely to see so many families together, and I will certainly remember the experience!\u201d This sentiment was shared by students, faculty, and grandparents alike throughout the day. From the heartfelt performances to the emotional speeches given, the Grandparents\u2019 Day chapel reminded the community how important it is to cherish time with grandparents.

Following the chapel service, families gathered to share lunch in the Carpenter Athletic Center. From savory sandwiches to sweet cookies, lunch was a hit! But, it was not only about the food; the lunch gave students the opportunity to bond and make memories with their grandparents. Tables were lit up by conversation, laughter, and joyful reminiscence. Students introduced their grandparents to friends and classmates, while also showing their grandparents what life is like on the Wyoming Seminary campus. It was a lovely opportunity for families to slow down and enjoy each other\u2019s company through good food and memorable stories of life.

Grandparents and grandchildren left the wondrous day carrying new memories and a deeper connection with both their family and peers. The Wyoming Seminary community is beyond thankful to all of the grandparents and family members who joined us for this special day that was definitely one to remember.
