Donuts with Moms...Served by Dads!

Who doesn't like a good donut?  This week, a long and successful tradition of inviting parents to school to have a morning donut--with juice and coffee, of course--had a fun new twist.  Some things were the same as usual:  donuts from The Donut Pantry, coffee from The Root, and kids drooling for a Long John, donut with sprinkles or a chocolate cake sinker.   Hmmm, what was different, you ask?

Well, as we know, Donuts with Dads took place in the fall, and the PTA served everyone.  As is usually the case with PTA, that meant moms behind the serving tables.  This time around, it was the moms' turn to eat and have fun, while our thriving All Pro Dads group (led by Kevin Rush) did the work!  In addition to Mr. Rush, we thank volunteers Keith Kopko (pictured with son, Nathan), Matthew Gronn, Shawn Dubecky, Paul Pierce and Evan Meredith (not pictured).

As principal of Horace Mann, I love these days when family members come to school to socialize and have fun with their kids and neighbors.  Thank you so much, PTA, All Pro Dads, family members and teachers for making this event a big success and time of community-building for our school!
