Morehead Men's Breakfast
One of the best events in Guilford County Schools takes place this Saturday morning.
Morehead Elementary will host its seventh annual Men's Breakfast at 9 a.m. Saturday. The annual event brings fathers, grandfathers and other male to the school so that they can get involved in their student's education. The speaker will be former Virginia Tech football standout John Lewis and Rich Brenner of Fox 8 will host the event. Rep. Howard Coble also is scheduled to appear.
Last year's breakfast attracted about 400 people. But the Men's Breakfast is about a lot more than sausage biscuits and doughnuts.
"It's just a chance for the men to sit, have breakfast and spend a little time with their child," said Morehead teacher Brian Walker, who is organizing the breakfast.
Most elementary school volunteers are women. But Walker hopes the breakfast will help make Morehead men more at ease at the school.
Walker said there are volunteer opportunities available for everyone. For example, if someone doesn't feel comfortable working as a reading tutor, they could help with landscaping around the school.
Morehead Elementary is located at 4630 Tower Road (just off Muirs Chapel Road) in west Greensboro. For more information, call the school at 294-7370.

Bruce, I attended this great event this morning. As usual, it was well attended by dads with their children, staff, and other interested guests. The entertainment was wonderful with the children on violin performing as well as the African Drum group. It is truly wonderful to see so many dads "being there" for their children. Wish we could duplicate this event all over our county.

Kris,
I'm glad you enjoyed yourself and I'm sure the Morehead folks appreciated you coming out.
You're right; this type of event would be great at every school. I probably should have mentioned that Hairston Middle started an annual men's breakfast a few years ago. It has been a big success, too.

Not only was the Honorable Kris Cooke in attendance, but five of her colleagues too. I do not believe Kris has ever missed one of these. If singing was any sign of enjoyment, I believe the award goes to Dr. John Wright who participated with gusto! Ellica Church's article was most appreciated.
