JPS will host its first ever conference for Moms, Thursday, April 15, 2010, at Galloway Elementary School with registration beginning at 4:30 p.m. and the opening session at 5:30 p.m.
Planned exclusively for JPS mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and female role models, this conference celebrates mothers as lifesavers. The evening will include strategies for Moms to help ensure their children’s academic success in school.
“With Mother’s Day coming up, we felt like a very appropriate title for our event would be Celebrating Moms–Empowering Our JPS Lifesavers,” says Mary Hill, executive director of food services and chair of the event.
Recognizing the roles mothers play in the success of educating students, JPS wants to empower moms with an information-packed evening that includes a complimentary dinner with “celebrity” servers and experts at each table, conference workshops on an array of topics of interest to JPS parents, and information tables with timely resources for students and families.
A health and beauty showcase has been added just for moms. Referred to as Pamper Me Pretty, the exhibitors include a massage therapist, an exercise instructor, and more. Information will be given to moms about how to take care of themselves as well as their families. Food and nutrition experts will also be on hand to offer practical tips for making home menus healthier.
Moms, that’s not all. There will also be a visit and display by the MilkPep Milk Mustache Mobile. The National Great Gallon Milk Giveaway sponsored by LuVel Dairy will give free milk to the first 500 registrants. Other giveaways include goodie-filled tote bags donated by BankPlus, and plenty of door prizes.
Pre-registration for the conference can be completed online or at your child’s school. For more information, contact the Jackson Public Schools’ Parent Resource Center at 601-960-8945.
Major event sponsors include MilkPep, Luvel, and BankPlus.
