Muffins with Moms

Once again the Hawthorne Family paused for precious moments before beginning daily routines. This time it was for moms.  Moms were encouraged to bring their appetites and their children to school for Muffins with Moms.  “Muffins with Moms is held twice a year as a way for moms to come in and have breakfast with their child/children before going off to work,” said Mrs. Chrisy Walker, PTA President.  She went on to say that it’s also a way to show appreciation and encourage membership in the organization.

Approximately 50 moms had come in by 7:30a.m. to enjoy muffins, pastries, fruit, and juice with students before they went to class. It was obvious that it was ‘precious time well spent’ as families ate, socialized, smiled, and hugged while relaxing in a welcoming environment.

Mrs. Walker also paused for a moment to talk with Dr. Wynton Walker, Hawthorne’s principal, and Mrs. Alisa Griffin, PTA secretary, to discuss plans for the upcoming school year.  Each has expressed that the beginning has been exciting and filled with numerous opportunities for the school and the PTA to interact.  While Meet and Greet Night brought out record numbers, PTA Open House was up close and personal as staff members were introduced to parents before they visited classrooms.

Not wanting to have the dads feel slighted, Mrs. Walker emphasized that the PTA is also planning Donuts for Dads in November.  The date for this event has not been released yet.  So, stay tuned, Dads.  You, too, will have the opportunity to bring your appetites and stop in before going on to work.
