Greats and Grands Day
Come see the confidence and purpose a Headwaters education builds
At Headwaters School, students are not passive recipients of education—they are collaborators. We don’t simply deliver learning to them; we create it with them. That’s what allows them to think boldly, wrestle with complex ideas, and truly soar.
We invite grandparents and significant elders to see this distinctive, student-centered experience in action. Come witness the confidence, curiosity, and joy that define a Headwaters education.
When you give during Greats and Grands, you are investing directly in the future our students are building—supporting the adventurous, expressive, deeply human learning that shapes thoughtful leaders. It’s a way to honor the joy of the school, sustain it for the next generation, and pay forward the opportunity for every child to rise with confidence and purpose.

Greats and Grands Association
You’re invited to stay connected beyond the day
Greats and Grands Day is just one way to engage with Headwaters School. Through the Greats and Grands Association, grandparents and special friends can stay connected throughout the year, build community with one another, and explore opportunities to share their time, talents, and support.
Our Greats and Grands Association fosters meaningful intergenerational connection and celebrates the important role elders play in a child’s life. Whether you attend events on campus or stay engaged from afar, you remain an essential part of your grandchild’s journey at Headwaters School.
As one grandparent shared, “Retirement doesn’t mean you stop being a productive person. The knowledge and life experience we’ve gained should be shared.” We could not agree more.
