A marvelous Morehead morning

I should have taken photos at Saturday morning's Morehead Men's Breakfast. But I guess mere words will have to do:
A full house of beaming kids and their daddies.
Rousing performances by the school's talented young African drum and string ensembles.
A shaven-headed little boy grinning in delight as he slapped his drum and bopped to the rhythm.
A caramel-skinned little girl tenderly plucking the strings of her violin.
His proud daughter leaping into the arms of volunteer Bill Vaughan, who won the school's Al McIver Award.
And most amazingly: a room packed with elementary school kids who stayed quiet and attentive for nearly two hours.
There's no better advertisement for the power of a dedicated school staff and an engaged, supportive community.
I'm convinced Morehead isn't the only place we'll find it.

The Morehead Men's Breakfast was another rousing success Saturday.
A full-flavored meal, a full-flavored program and a full house of kids and their daddies reaffirmed the power of a school and its community.
