Manchester’s Klager Elementary School is excited to welcome grandparents and other special loved ones to its annual Special Person Day/Grandparents Day on Friday, November 20, 2026.
Based on feedback from families, Klager is expanding the name of this beloved tradition to Special Person Day/Grandparents Day to ensure every student feels included, valued, and celebrated. Whether a child’s grandparents are able to attend, they are no longer in their lives, or they have another special person they wish to honor, the goal is to create a meaningful and welcoming experience for every student.
The Friday morning event will offer visiting grandparents and special guests an opportunity to spend time with their students and experience a little of their school day. Activities will include breakfast, photos, games, classroom tours, and a visit to the school book fair.
This year, Klager is also partnering with local screen-printing business Steelegrafix of Manchester to extend the celebration into the community. For purchases made at Steelegrafix on Friday, November 20, and Saturday, November 21, 10% of the proceeds will be donated directly back to Klager students, helping support the school community while encouraging residents to shop locally.
All grandparents and special persons planning to attend are asked to register in advance using the following link: https://forms.gle/F5HCBoSAmSTBKAmg9. Advance registration will help the school’s food services team prepare an appropriate amount of breakfast for guests.
Klager Elementary looks forward to welcoming the many special people who make a difference in the lives of its students for a morning filled with connection, celebration, and school spirit.
