SPECIAL FRIENDS DAY

Join us for a morning in the life of your student and get a special glimpse into the classroom experience at Flint Hill. Your day will begin just like it does for every husky, with a cheerful greeting in carpool, and continue as you shadow your student throughout their class activities.
This event is for grandparents and special friends of Lower School students in grades JK-6. We politely request parents visit during open classroom days throughout the school year in order to accommodate grandparents and special friends on this exciting day.

You Can Make a Difference for Your Grandchild, and Every Student at Flint Hill!
As a grandparent, you feel a strong desire and responsibility to be there for your grandchild in as many ways as possible — and so we’re grateful to have you as members of our Flint Hill family!
While you can’t be with your grandchild at school every day, you can be part of his or her Flint Hill education with a gift to the Flint Hill Fund.
Each year, the Flint Hill Fund helps to provide critical funds for the daily experience of each of our students — from new programs that support the ever-changing needs of today’s learners to professional development opportunities for talented faculty to equipment and supplies for students.
