Harambee dads represent for 
dancing and donuts                                   

Few things make our students smile more than spending time with their dads.

Last week, Harambee students invited their dads to a morning donut reception.  Fathers and their kids packed the library to enjoy quality time eating breakfast together before the start of the school day.  Afterwards, students were beaming to have their dads escort them to their classroom.
A great morning with Harambee dads
Earlier this month, students and dads from Harambee, Calumet, and Xenos Christian Schools also attended a father daughter dance themed, "An evening under the stars."  Daughters were excited to dress up and show off their dads at the dance.

Thanks, dads, for making these students feel so special!
