Watch Dog Pizza Party Moved to September 16th @ 5:30

The Watch Dog Pizza Party has been moved to September 16th. Calling all Dad's! You need to be a hero in you kid's life and here you can become a hero in our hallways. Come join the Watch Dogs and meet some new friends, touch base with old ones and dust off your favorite supper hero outfit. Fathers and father-figures are invited to sign up to spend one day this year volunteering, serving as a positive male role model and helping increase a sense of security in the building. During their WATCH D.O.G.S. day, dads will engage in various activities such as welcoming students during arrival, reading to classes, tutoring small groups of students, having fun at recess or simply sitting down and connecting with students during lunch. Our school gain an extra set of eyes and ears. The presence of WATCH D.O.G.S.(r) can increase a sense of security at the building and helps create an environment conducive to learning.

Our first meeting is Tuesday, September 7th. The Panther Press reported that it is on the 9th and it was reported at Back to School night as the 9th. It really is scheduled for the 7th per our magnetic calendar. Please except our apology for the confusion.
