Dads: Get Involved with Watch D.O.G.S
|
|
|
Watch D.O.G.S. is a father involvement program of the National Center for Fathering. 
Statistics show that kids develop more fully socially, physically, academically and emotionally when they have a positive male role model actively engaged in their life. Since school is a significant chunk of your kid's life, check out the
Watch D.O.G.S.
program at Puesta del Sol. We will host a formal 2017-2018 kickoff/Q&A session in October. Stay tuned for dates and times, or contact Puesta del Sol parent Tyler Parris with questions at
watchdogs@puestadelsolpta.org
