| We are having our annual WATCH D.O.G.S. Pizza Night! When: Tuesday, Oct. 8th from 6:00-7:30 p.m.Where: Lindbergh cafeteria and auditorium! Please bring your child and enjoy some dinner and refreshments while learning about our wonderful program! What is WATCH D.O.G.S.?WATCH D.O.G.S. ® (Dads Of Great Students) is a family and community engagement educational initiative. There are 2 primary goals of the WATCH D.O.G.S. ® program. 1) To provide positive male role models for the students, demonstrating by their presence that education is important. 2) To provide extra sets of eyes and ears to enhance school security and reduce bullying. Program Benefits• Students gain positive male role models.• Schools gain an extra set of eyes and ears. The presence of a father or father figure will provide an additional deterrent to bullying, enhance a sense of security in the building, and will help to create an environment conducive to learning.• Fathers get a glimpse of their students’ everyday world and learn about the increasingly complex challenges and decisions today’s youth are facing. As a result, they can learn to relate better to their student and hopefully connect with them.• Fathers gain a greater awareness of the positive impact they can have on their student’s life in three critical areas including: academic performance, self-esteem, social behavior. We hope you can make it to our Pizza Night! See you there! Eric Mattison 5th Grade Father at Lindbergh Raffle tickets were sent home last week!
