Our students will be positively impacted by the committed involvement of fathers and father figures on campus. The goal of the program is for you to volunteer at least one time this year. The program is open to all dads, granddads, uncles, step-dads, cousins, and adult brothers. We are hosting a pizza party to kick-off our program. At the pizza party we will give out more information- you can choose a volunteer day, and even purchase a shirt for you and your child.
