Muffins with Mom / Donuts with Dad Chaos

"While I love the idea of Muffins with Mom, it was so chaotic. Having it the same time as the Book Fair makes sense, but the same day as the Kindergarten program caused there to be many dads coming with families and increased the number of attendees. Would it be possible to split this event up over 2 days(different grade levels on different days) or at least don't have it in conjunction with any other programs at school." 5/4/2018

 

"I came for muffins with mom and there were just too many moms/kids. I couldn't even find parking! We went to Mamas Java instead and found another friend and his mom did the same thing! I'm not sure how to make that better except for staggering the times or the days maybe K-2 one day and 3-5 the next?" 5/4/2018

Yes, Muffins with Moms and Donuts with Dads are well attended! ;-) While the PTO intentionally schedules these events during the Fall and Spring Book Fairs, having this event on the same day as a Kindergarten program was a fluke and something we will try to avoid in the future. Also, with WCS's increased focus on school security, we may be considering alternative events for 2018-19 that will mean fewer visitors in the building at a single time.
