Calling all DADS.!!
Would you like to be a part of our DADS Watch Team?
Join us on Saturday, September 24th @ 10:00 a.m. for more information. The scholars need YOU!
· D.A.D.S. are fathers, grandfathers, uncles, and other father-figures who volunteer for at least one day each year at school.
There are 3 primary goals of the D.A.D.S. (Dads Against Danger in Schools) Not on MY Watch!
1). To provide positive male role models for the students, demonstrating by their presence that education is important.
2). To provide extra sets of eyes and ears to enhance school security, reduce bullying, and build positive self-esteem.
3). Demonstrating the importance of giving back to your community.
See you soon!
