The first reading day was a TREMENDOUS success with each class having a Dad to read. The F.B.I. is an organization of Dads and Males in the Nickajack Elementary School Community dedicated to making a positive impact on our kids' education. Study has shown children whose Fathers are involved;Dad's Read

4.Participate in extracurricular activities

5.Are rated higher by their teachers in conduct

  

 

Let's continue to make a difference by volunteering on Friday, December 14th. Please remember to seek other opportunities to volunteer by contacting your child's teacher. Imagine the impact on our kids if the Dads volunteered one (1) full day a year.
