Year: 2009

Watch DOGS (Dads of Great Students) is the safe school initiative of the National Center for Fathering that involves fathers and father figures to help create a more safe and secure learning environment in schools throughout the nation. At Hungary Creek Middle School, they have an average of one father/father figure each school day to support the school staff by greeting students in the morning, walking the campus as an extra set of protective eyes for safety concerns, to guest speak or assist in classrooms, to mentor students at lunch, and to assist with traffic flow during hallway transitions. Their main objective for the program is to increase the number of visible, positive role models into the students’ school experience and to increase the adults actively involved in promoting a safe, bully-free school environment.
