Grandparents, we'd love to hear your ideas!

[Please note that the Strategic Planning Survey has now closed. But if you have any thoughts to share on the future of Discovery Museum, please send an email to fun [at] discoveryacton.org (fun[at]discoveryacton[dot]org).]

Discovery Museum has long recognized grandparents as an essential element of our community. That is why we launched this blog three years ago: we wanted to find a way to connect with and support you as you navigate the wonderful joys and challenges of your grandparenting journey. I’ve had the privilege to share with you stories and ideas that I hope have inspired you to think about how we can best share our time and experiences with our grands. It’s been a lot of me talking to you. Now it’s your turn! 

Discovery Museum is in the process of creating a new strategic plan that will inspire and guide its work for the next three to five years. The Board and staff of the Museum want to include a wide range of voices in this process to ensure the strongest possible plan—one that truly reflects the entirety of the community we serve. We want to hear from you!

I hope you will consider lending 10 minutes of your time to take our online survey that will help the Museum understand how we can extend our reach and deepen our impact on kids, caregivers, families, and schools in our region. The survey concludes with an important question we are eager to hear your thoughts on:

If Discovery Museum could make ONE thing happen in five years, what should it be? 

Grandparents bring the wisdom and experience of the past as we look to the future. We can’t wait to see what ideas you have for the future of Discovery Museum!  

Note: The survey closed August 12.

Hi, I’m Cheryl: grandmother, retired Kindergarten teacher, longtime friend (and current Board member) of the Discovery Museum—and now, blogger!  As a grandparent, I try to apply what I learned as a teacher about children and their development to strengthen my relationships with my grandchildren and bring them joy. My hope for this blog is to engage with other grandparents in the Museum community to collect and share stories and ideas about the joys—and challenges—of grandparenting, and how we can connect and deepen our relationships with our grandchildren. Please join me in this wonderful journey we are on—I look forward to hearing from you! Use the comment box at the bottom of any blog post or email me at gpdiscoveries@gmail.com.
