Pullen Elementary kicks off Dads of Great Students program

(ROCKWALL, TX — September 14, 2017) Pullen Elementary School (6492 FM 3097) will host a Dads and Kids’ Pizza Night to kick off an innovative father involvement program called WATCH D.O.G.S.^® (Dads Of Great Students) on Thursday, Sept. 21 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. WATCH D.O.G.S.^® is the father involvement initiative of the National Center For Fathering, inspired by one father’s desire to increase male involvement in his children’s school and with the help of the school’s teachers and administration.

Each school year thousands of men volunteer to work at least one day in their child’s school through the WATCH D.O.G.S.^®program. These men work along side the educators to help as crossing guards, car/bus rider facilitators, hallway monitors, library assistants, lunchroom helpers, classroom and homework tutors and playground/gymnasium coaches. Every school year these men have a positive impact on the lives of hundreds of thousands of kids.

Program benefits:

Students gain a positive male role model.
Schools gain an extra set of eyes and ears. The presence of WatchDOGS can increase a sense of security at the building for students and staff, and it helps create an environment conducive to learning.
Fathers and father-figures can spend meaningful time with their students in the school setting and gain a greater awareness of the positive impact they can have on their student’s life, just by being a ‘dad’.
When WatchDOGS invest a day at school, they can learn how better to partner with the school to meet educational goals of students.
