Watch DOGS Kickoff
On Tuesday, August 28th from 6:00-6: 45 pm we will be having our ‘Dads and Kids’ Pizza Night at our school. You will meet in the school cafeteria at 6:00pm for FREE pizza and drinks. At 6:20 pm we will have a short 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, grandfathers, uncles, stepdads and adult brothers . . . this is your chance to have a night out alone with your student in a fun atmosphere at Madison. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Katie Beach, Administrative Intern (beachk@usd231.com)
