Owen’s Elementary School has this really cool volunteer program just for Dad’s called Watch D.O.G.S which stands for Dads Of Great Students. The purpose is since most Dad’s work full time and aren’t able to volunteer very often, is to have the Dad come in for the entire school day (8am-3pm) so they can just take off one full day instead of an hour here and an hour there. The dad’s check in, get a cool T-Shirt to wear for the, and get a very busy full schedule for the day. The tasks involve Crossing Guard, Monitoring the Halls, Library Assistance, Random Classroom Assistance, Their Childs Classroom Assistant, Playing with kids on the playground that may be looking alone or sad, eating lunch with kids, etc. It’s a really neat program and of course my AMAZING Husband jumped at the opportunity to volunteer, especially since his days off are during the school week. Owen absolutely LOVED having his Dad at school for the day :) It was a long day for sure, but it’s something Brandon will cherish being able to do forever. Owen even got a hand delivered letter to his class the next day that Brandon got to write especially for him. He was SO excited to show me his letter after school. Can’t wait to hear about the next time he gets to be a Watch D.O.G in February.
