19. Watch D.O.G.S.
WATCH D.O.G.S. (Dads Of Great Students) is an innovative program being used by schools across America which helps them to be positively impacted by the committed involvement of fathers and father-figures in their student's life.  Our goal is to have you spend at least one day this year at the school to be a positive male role model and to provide an extra set of eyes and ears. Watch for more information regarding our Kick-Off in October.
