My son asked 50 times this week what day I was going to be a watchdog. He was very excited every time I interacted with his class, which was often. I recommend this program for any Dad who wants to share in his child’s experiences at school and learn more about his or her daily routine. The staff makes it easy for you.

This was a great experience that I would highly recommend. Your kids will love having you at school with them, and you can be a great role model for all the students and dads.

I really appreciate the professionalism of the staff and faculty. The students seemed respectful of authority and excited about me being there. I like being a watchdog because I can see in person what is happening in our local education. I would highly recommend participating in this program.

my day as a watchdog was fantastic from start to finish. i appreciated that my day was planned and explained to relieve any confusion or anxiety. I was extremely impressed by the time and enthusiasm of the teachers and staff to make me feel at home and useful. Most importantly, i was surprised by the response from the children. Throughout the entire day and in different classrooms, the kids seemed to really enjoy having a dad there and involved. The smiles and comments i received from kids i had never met before made this day mean more to me than i think it did for the kids.

Thank you for taking the time and attention necessary to run this program. i will certainly do it more often and recommend it to other dads.

Great Program!
In a world of declining role models this opportunity for Dads is huge! The significance of modeling positive roles for kids cannot be ignored. I suspect that kids may learn more about their dad in this setting. It only takes that one moment to connect and bond. Watch dogs is vital to the community and to the development of well grounded citizens.

This really is a wonderful experience. Not knowing what to expect, there is a little apprehension at first, but that vanishes almost as quickly. It is wonderful to be welcomed so quickly by the staff when arriving here. Perhaps the greatest joy comes in the realization that you really do make a difference to the children. As I listened to the children talk, they are excited and so receptive to the whole idea of the Watch Dogs. I am very blessed to have the opportunity to have spent the day here, and it is an extra special time to be able to see just how much this meant to my own daughter. (After all, she did tell all her friends:))

Thank you so much. I look forward to having the time to visit again. Woof! Woof!

Respectfully,
Gregg Busch

Great day today. It was interesting having second graders here this year. They are a lot of fun. It was great getting involved in art and recess today and one on one reading time seemed to be appreciated.

It was a great day. My son was very excited this morning that today I was going to be the “Watch Dog”. Everywhere I went I heard Hi Watchdog. I think that the kids really enjoy seeing parents taking an active role in their school. The teachers were very supportative as well and always thanked me for my time.

I really enjoyed my day and the time with the students and look forward to being able to participating in the program again.

Thanks for supporting the Watch Dog Program!!!!

This is absolutely the best program for gertting fathers and or father figures involved in school. The children are at times somewhat awestruck just to have the male role model in their prescence. The look on their faces is worth every minute.

Every man aith children in school should experience being able to help not only their own but all the other children they come in contact with.

One of the highlights of my time was to be walking down the hall and from all directions hearing “Hey Watchdog” or “Good morning Watchdog” not from the teachers but from the students.
