MORGANTOWN — Brookhaven Elementary School hosted an event called Mighty Mothers.
The purpose of the event was to foster closer relationships and create bonding time for children and their mothers by doing various crafts and activities.
The event was sponsored by Monongalia County Schools Parent Educator Resource Center (PERC).
Last year, PERC piloted one Mighty Mothers event and decided to continue this year in hopes of expanding their efforts.
In the past two weeks, PERC has visited four area elementary schools. Next year, the organization hopes to add additional schools and events.
Patricia Stemple, an organizer of the event said, “We’ve had very good response, and everyone is really excited about it. We hear from the Mothers that it’s so nice that now there’s something for mothers.”
When asked about the future of the event, Julie Parsons, another event organizer, said, “We hope that next school year additional elementary schools will be interested in this.”
Parsons and Stemple will contact elementary schools in the fall to ask about their interests in the program.
