It invites fathers, grandfathers, uncles, or other father figures to volunteer at least one day, all day, at school. Last Wednesday, over 50 dads and their kids attended the pizza kick-off event. We were joined by Jerry Martin, Top Dog at Fryelands Elementary in Monroe and Bill Booth, Watch DOG Coordinator at North Beach Elementary in Seattle. A huge "Muchas Gracias" to all who attended! Thank you to Sra. Nestor for speaking at the event and to the PTA for funding this great program! Over 50 volunteer days were chosen by dads but there's still a lot of room to sign up.
