WATCH DOG DADS
Thank you all for the overall response and support of the Watch D.O.G.S. program here at Sampson! All of our patrol slots are currently full. If you are interested in volunteering you can contact Michele Bickham (michele.bickham@cfisd.net) or Christin Baker (christin.baker@cfisd.net) to be put on a wait list. Our patrol dates are Tuesdays and Thursdays and you can choose a morning or afternoon shift.
In addition, if you have volunteered and are signed up for another shift, we may be reaching out to have those spots open up for dads who have not had a chance to patrol. The plan at this time is to continue the program next school year. Be on the lookout soon for information about our end-of-year celebration!
Thank to our amazing sponsor Houston Home Team!
