AC Steere PTA

WATCH D.O.G.S. is the father involvement initiative of the National Center for Fathering that was founded by Jim Moore, a concerned father who chose to take action in response to a 1998 middle-school shooting in Jonesboro, AR. Moore wanted to help prevent violence from occurring at his children’s school or at any school. The first program was launched at George Elementary in Springdale, AR, the school of Moore’s oldest child. Today, more than 1,659 programs in 38 states participate in WATCH D.O.G.S.®

The goal of WATCH D.O.G.S. is to help every school in America be positively influenced by the committed involvement of fathers, grandfathers, uncles and father figures in lives of their children and students.

The A.C. Steere WATCH D.O.G.S. will be inviting fathers, grandfathers, uncles, or other father figures to volunteer at least one day all day at their child’s/student's school during the school year. Individuals can sign up at the kick-off event that will be held soon or in the office at any time throughout the school year after the kickoff event. The program will be overseen by a volunteer, Patrick Marr, who will be partnering with Mrs. Derrick to coordinate scheduling and identify opportunities for WATCH D.O.G.S. to provide assistance at the school. WATCH D.O.G.S. volunteers will perform a variety of tasks during their volunteer day including monitoring the school entrance, assisting with unloading and loading of buses and cars, monitoring the lunch room, and helping in the classroom with a teacher's guidance by working with small groups of students on homework.
