About the Grandparents Association

Our mission is to provide generational support to our grandchildren at Dunham. We serve the school with our time, our prayers, and finances and other resources in gratitude for the contribution it is making the lives of our families and the greater community. We want to leave a legacy of Christian faith and principles as the centerpiece of our heritage, and we believe this can be accomplished through enabling the school to continue providing an excellent education in a Christian atmosphere. We invite all Dunham grandparents will join the Grandparents Association. Whether you live near or far, there is a way for you to get involved at Dunham. Each year, grandparents are needed to help in the following areas:

Pray Dunham (meets first Friday of every month)
Concessions at athletic events
Lower School guest readers
Campus beautification projects
Annual Giving Campaign
Grandparents Day
Dunham Carnival
