Discovery at Kirkmere students welcome important women to event

YOUNGSTOWN — Discovery at Kirkmere students started the week enjoying breakfast with their mothers.

Nearly 90 mothers, grandmothers or other significant women in children’s lives attended Muffins for Moms at the West Side school today.

“The goal is to bring parents in and allow them to get familiar with the building” and some of the programs and resources available to them, said Principal Misha Scott.

Besides the pastries, coffee and orange juice, the moms learned about the school’s math and literacy programs and some tips to address bullying.

“It doesn’t have to be mothers,” Scott said. “It’s any woman who is important to them: grandmothers, aunties, stepmothers, foster mothers.”

A similar event, Doughnuts for Dads, is set for Oct. 5.
