The photo to the left shows the Dublin Grizzell Huddle that on a weekly basis gets between 40-55 kids coming every morning. The moms on this particular morning provided fruit, drinks, pastries from Panera, and of course donuts.

Not every school will look the same, but this is a beautiful example of parents coming together to make a big kickoff event exciting and fun for their students. They had a guest speaker and even played a game at the end with the students. 

With the help and organization from parents, middle school huddles can truly thrive. When Middle schools are thriving this can help our local high schools to grow and thrive as well, as the students start to take over most of the parental roles, and step into the leadership responsibilities.
