A continuing program at MES this year is the WATCH D.O.G.S. program. D.O.G.S. stands for Dads of Great Students. However, participation is not limited to just dads. Uncles, grandfathers, and older brothers are also welcome to participate in the WATCH D.O.G.S. program. The program is a national initiative founded by a group of dads that were concerned about school safety. Dads are encouraged to volunteer one day per year in their child's school. The day is intended to let dads become familiar with activities at school. Dads will be asked to monitor hallways, observe in their child's classroom, eat lunch with their child, and visit with children that need extra attention. This will help dads connect with the child at school and become familiar with what the child experiences
each day. This is a wonderful opportunity to form parent/teacher relationships. To find out more information about WATCH D.O.G.S., contact Dana Robbins or visit the WATCH D.O.G.S. website at www.watchdogs.net
