Monroe County, Indiana – Dr. Markay Winston, Superintendent of the Monroe County Community School Corporation (MCCSC), will hold her next “Muffins with Markay” event on Wednesday, October 22, welcoming the Batchelor Middle School community to connect in a relaxed, informal setting.
“Muffins with Markay” events are designed to foster family and community engagement, offering parents, teachers, and staff an opportunity to engage directly with the superintendent. Attendees can enjoy conversation over coffee and muffins while sharing their thoughts, ideas, and concerns about school programs and policies.
“This is an opportunity for us to listen to our community in a friendly and welcoming environment,” said Dr. Winston. “We want parents and staff to feel comfortable asking questions, sharing feedback, and learning more about what is happening in their schools.”
