Congratulations to our Staff Member of the Month for September!
Dear Dads, Granddads and Father Figures,
Join us for Free Hot Dogs and Fun as we kick-off our Watch Dog program for the 2022-23 school year! We will have a short presentation about our WATCH D.O.G.S. ®(Dads of Great Students) Program. WATCH D.O.G.S. ® is an innovative program being used by schools across America which helps them to be positively impacted by the committed involvement of fathers and father-figures in their student’s life. Our goal is to have you spend at least one ½ day this year at the school to be a positive male role model and to provide an extra set of eyes and ears. In order to participate, you need to do two things:
1. Fill out the bottom portion of the form and return it with your student no later than Sept. 8 saying that you will attend this event so we’ll have an accurate head count for the food. Hot dogs will be donated by Russellville Sonic.
2. Mark your calendars, and we’ll see you Thursday, Sept. 15 from (6:00 – 7:00 pm).
Official WATCH D.O.G.S.® Uniform T-shirts for Watch DOGS and ‘My Hero’ T-shirts for students will be available for $12-$15 each. Cash and Checks will be accepted.
