Grandparents and Special Friends
Grandparents and Special Friends of Epiphany students play an integral part in the lives of their grandchildren, and therefore, in the life of the School. As a Grandparent or Special Friend of an Epiphany student, you are welcomed on campus and will be invited to several events throughout the course of each academic year. You will also receive two issues annually of the School’s magazine, Epiphany School Update.
Below is a list of the programs Epiphany School offers for Grandparents and/or Special Friends. To ensure that you receive school mailings and invitations, be sure to notify the School of any changes to your contact information. You may do so by contacting the Development Office at bfurubayashi@epiphanyschool.org or (206) 720-7667.
