Tonight we had our Watch DOGS (Dads of Great Students) event at school. We have a new Superintendent who has two young children. He was our guest speaker and spoke about being "present" with our children. I truly think it made a difference with our dads and made them feel special to have him there. We had a record number of dads sign up to volunteer for a day at school.
Why do I love this program? It is one of those special programs that I believe makes my school counseling program POP! Programs that highlight a special group of stakeholders, such as dads, are a great way to set apart your school counseling program. I LOVE the Watch DOGS program and highly encourage any school counselor of look into bringing it to your school. When the dads come and volunteer it is always a very special day for our students. I can't wait to witness all the special moments this year between our Watch DOGS and students!!
