STA's annual Grandparent's Day was once again a raging success! More than 460 grandparents gathered with their grandchildren for a morning of prayer, breakfast, and treasured time together. "I am so grateful for this time," said senior Laikyn Lauderdale. "When you are a freshman you just take all this for granted, but now as a senior, I realize this is my last Grandparent's Day. I'm going off to college in six months and I won't be able to see my grandparents just any time I want. We are so fortunate that STA gives us this opportunity!"
