Supporting Students Beyond the Classroom: MCS Parent University & Family Resource Efforts

Nov 17, 2025 at 11:06 am by Producer



On this episode of Rutherford Issues on WGNS, host Bryan Barrett talks with Jennifer Lowe of Murfreesboro City Schools about how the district supports families through its Parent University programs and the work of the MCS Family Resource Center. Jennifer explains how the center provides everything from family education opportunities to essential resources— including the backpack snack program that sends food home with students showing signs of hunger.

As we enter the season of sharing, Jennifer also shares how community members can donate, get involved, and directly help local children and families. If you’re looking for a meaningful way to support Murfreesboro students, this conversation offers simple ways to make a big impact.
