Watch D.O.G.S.

This past Wednesday Jimmy had the opportunity to be a part of the new Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of great students) program they started at the kids school.  Last week he attended a pizza night with the kids that explained what they would be doing.  Here is an example of what his day would look like.

  

Caden and Paige were super excited to have their daddy be a watch dog.  They talked about all week.  Caden was super pumped that they would get to be apart of morning announcments.  I got to stay and watch them in the office after I dropped the kids off.  It was so sweet.  

I think that some of the dads were a little nervous about what they would be doing.  It is definitely asking most of them to step out of their comfort zone.  You do not see many, if any dads volunteering for anything in the schools.  Of course this is the idea behind the program.  Get the dads more involved.  I knew it would be great for my own children to have their father be more involved but I did not except the reaction of all the other kids.  I brought Jimmy and the kids lunch and the entire time kids were coming up to him giving him hugs or high fives.  Several students were calling out Watch dog come over here!  Jimmy said this went on all day. You could really tell the kids crave a fatherly roll model.  Jimmy got to see the kids in action at school and got a little inside scoop from the teachers.  lol.  Caden and Paige were so proud to have their daddy in their school.  

Overall it was a great experience for Jimmy and the kids.  They already want to know when he will be at school again and he said he will defiantly be signing up for more days.
