... his mother, Kelley, accompanied him for her first time at the event. “Liam really enjoys it,” she said. “It’s a good thing for the school to do in the community. Kids are excited to bring their parents and have breakfast with them.”. This was the first time at the breakfast for Eric Mullenmeister, but he couldn’t pass on the golden opportunity to have a meal at school with his 7-year-old daughter, Ella, he said. “I think it’s a great idea.”.
