Grandparents Are Great!

Hey kids, do you have the best grandparents in the country? Did you know that grandparents are the primary caregivers for more than six million kids in this country? Even if they aren’t the primary caregivers, grandparents contribute so much to the health and wellbeing of their grandchildren in many ways. Grand magazine and national children’s charity KidPeace are launching a nationwide search for the greatest grandmas and grandpas around to honor their contributions to society. If Nana and Pop-pop have got what it takes, log onto the kid-safe Web site grandcontest.com and nominate them with a 100-word essay. If they win, your grandparents will be treated to a week-long luxury vacation for two in the Turks and Caicos or Jamaica from Beaches Resorts! Runners-up will be featured in the Grand issue on National Grandparents Day on September 7. The contest ends July 20. Adults can check out grandmagazine.com for grownup details.
