Volunteer Opportunity for the FBI
Fathers Being Involved
Helping Hands

 

The counselors would like to enlist the help of the Fathers Being Involved!  We run a group on Monday and Thursday mornings from 7:20-8:00 AM called the D.R.E.A.M. Team.  

 

D.R.E.A.M. stands for Demonstrating Respect Everyday to Achieve More.  This "team" or group is comprised of 12 male students from second thru fifth grade.  The primary goal of the program is to help students become successful lifelong learners and people of good character. 

 

We are looking for guest speakers to attend our meetings and speak to the boys on various topics.  We feel that it is important to expose them to as many positive male role models as possible.  I have listed the meeting dates and topics below.  If there are any members of the FBI that would like to volunteer to speak to the boys on one of the following topics one morning from 7:25-7:45 AM (20 minutes), please email Nicole.Weber@cobbk12.org.  Thank you!

 

Upcoming topics:

 

April 7                   Manners

April 10                 Test Taking Skills

April 14                 Games in Gym

April 17                 Celebration
