Janie Parker rules the school at Parkside Elementary, though she's not even a student. She's a volunteer room mother, tirelessly pouring her blood, sweat and tears into every perfect detail of every party or project for her daughter's class. And she does it all for...GASP...the glory. Her over-the-top antics alienate her daughter, Kelsey, who isn't anything like her mother. So when Janie's husband, Greg, announces the family must relocate to Houston in the middle of the school year, Kelsey sees the opportunity to start over. Janie, however, sees the end of her legacy as the most fabulous, glorified volunteer in the history of public schools. As if that isn't horrifying enough, the family's move to Houston forces Janie to live in the same town as her own mother, Helen, whom she despises.
When they arrive at Kelsey's new school, Bear Branch Elementary, Janie discovers some silver lining - their new school district annually crowns a "Mom of the Year." Janie soon meets her match in Lanette Middleton, the class room mother and reigning Mom of the Year. Lanette makes it clear there is no room for Janie at Bear Branch. After one too many insults, Janie fights back...and the competition is ON!
