WATCH D.O.G.S

Thursday September 12th from 6:00 – 7:00 pm we will be having our 1st annual ‘Dads’ Pizza Night at our school. You will meet here at the school cafeteria at 6:00 pm for FREE pizza and drinks.  At 6:30pm we will have a presentation about our WATCH D.O.G.S.^® (Dads Of Great Students) Program. WATCH D.O.G.S.^® 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.

Dads, granddads, uncles, step-dads and adult brothers . . . this is your chance to have a night out alone with your student in a fun atmosphere at school. 

In order to participate, you need to do two things: 

1. Fill out this form and return it with your student (ASAP) saying that you will attend the pizza night.  This will allow us to have an accurate head count in planning and purchasing the food.
2. Mark your calendars and we’ll see you, Thursday September 12th 6:00 – 7:00 pm.
