Watch D.O.G.S

Last night all the dads at the kids school, Frontier Academy, were invited for free pizza and pop. The catch was we had to listen to a presentation about a new program that would be starting in a few weeks entitled "Watch D.O.G.S." So at 6:30, 453 dads and their kids piled into the lunch room for dinner. We then learned about this dynamic program that encourages dads to spend one full day at their kids school each year. During the day they are there, they provide an extra sense of security for the kids and the school. Helping get kids to class in the morning, walking the school campus to make sure it is secure, roaming the hallways to make sure the right people are in the building, eating lunch with the kids, playing with them at recess, ect., are a few of the "assigned" tasks. It is even more important at a school like Frontier, due to the fact there are only 5 males staff members in the two buildings.

The response from the dads at Frontier was huge. The principle later said they expected 80-90 dads at the first meeting. 190 showed up. Every single school day from now until May 22 was signed up for. Wow.
