Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) is the father involvement initiative of the National Center for Fathering that organizes fathers and father figures in order to provide positive male role models for the students and to enhance school security. Who are Watch D.O.G.S.? Fathers, grandfathers, step-fathers, uncles, and other father figures who volunteer to serve at least one day each year in a variety of school activities as assigned by the school principal or other administrator. For more more about the national program, visit dadsofgreatstudents.com.

Can moms participate? The short answer is yes! While the program is focused primarily on engaging Dads and father figures in the local school, moms are welcome.  There are even special Watch DOGS M.O.M.S. shirts that can be purchased online.  Email watchdogs@stinsonpta.org for more information.
