Rocking Out with Mom
January 29, 2010
“Be Your Mom’s Guitar Hero!” This year, Neuqua Valley is hosting their annual Mother-Son Brunch on January 31st, at the Bolingbrook Country Club.
The event theme “I Want to Hold Your Hand” was inspired by the new Beatles Edition Rock Band. There will be great food, fun, and door prizes.
The brunch is hosted by the Parent Teacher Student Association, who is in charge of all events such as the Daddy-Daughter Dance, also taking place this month.
Their goal this year was to tap into what boys like to do in their spare time, like play video games, such as the ever so popular Rock Band.
Mother-Son Brunches started in District 204, when a group a PTSA parents were upset at the fact that there were many different events for fathers and daughters, yet none for mothers and sons. They proceeded to create a brunch for the families to share special time together.
“Boys will never dance with their mothers, unless a wedding of some sort, so the PTSA decided a brunch, just a meal together with time alone would be a good event,” said Assistant Principal Lance Fuhrer.
This year they are expecting a large crowd, and have asked John G. Blumberg to be the event guest speaker.
Mother-Son Brunches have become extremely popular throughout other high schools since Neuqua PTSA added it in the 90’s. There are always functions for dads and daughters, so this is a special event for all Neuqua Valley mothers and sons who want to share some quality time together.
