The Welches School kicked off March with a new event: Muffins, Music & Math on Wednesday, March 6. With muffins, fruit, coffee and juice provided by the Welches Parent Teacher Community Organization, 130 students and parents got the day started with some grade-level stations featuring math activities that families could do together.

“It was a smashing success,” said Kendra Payne, Welches School Principal.

Every student in attendance received a free double dice and a DecaDeck (flashcards), while free math guides, parent resources and children’s books about math were also available. School staff helped families while jazz music set the mood.

“It had a busy, jazzy coffee shop vibe,” Payne said.

Next up for the school will be a similar event, Books & Bagels, on Friday, April 12.
