February means Muffins for Mom at Lake Highlands Elementary!

On February 19th, the popular annual event honoring moms was again hosted by the LHE Dad’s Club in the warm and cozy library of the school on Ferndale.

The get-together started early at 7:00 a.m., and the guys were prepared.

Volunteer dads set up long tables in the hallway outside the library and piled them high with giant blueberry, banana and chocolate muffins, as well as lots of Krispy Kreme glazed donuts.

The line in the hall formed fast and grew long as mom after mom, and a whole bunch of kids, visited while they eagerly awaited their turn at the goodies.

They didn’t balk at the early hour!

While the kids reached for the donuts, most important to the moms was the piping hot coffee, courtesy again this year of White Rock Coffee.

Muffins For Mom is a mainstay at the school and has proven to be an excellent opportunity to welcome newcomers.

There were easily 100 people in attendance and the majority of them were moms and kids just starting - or in the early stages - of their tenure at LHE.

The seasoned 6th graders and their moms did make a good showing, however, considering that most 6th graders are a bit "too cool" to have a nosh with their mom at school!

For the most part, they grabbed their eats and left their moms to visit with each other.

According to Josh Hickman, this years LHE Dad’s Club President, the popular event went smoothly and was enjoyed by all.

“We really enjoy doing this for our hard-working moms," he said.

"We know how much effort they put into making LHE such a great school, and it’s our pleasure to show them some appreciation in return."

"We’re also appreciative for the continued support of all our community partners that help us make this a successful event.”
