Over 200 Men Attend MIS for Watch DOGS Kick-off
Published by Jeff October 9th, 2007 in Monticello School News.
More than 200 dads, stepdads, grandfathers and father figures showed up at MIS Tuesday night for the kickoff event of Watch DOGS.
Scott Huse, the national director of Watch DOGS spoke to the men while the kids played under supervision of teachers, Americorps workers and members of the Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO).
Watch DOGS is a program for dads and father figures to provide safety and security for schools, while being a positive role model and asset for students and a help to the administration and teachers.

Jeff,
It was great to see so many men show up in support of the program. I was wondering though if we could spread this out throughout the entire school system and not just MIS. Maybe we could start with MES and MIS, then continue to grow and culitvate until we reach the Middle School and High School levels.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

From what I understand, the other principals have been given information about the program. It’s up to them to implement it in their schools (or concerned dads from those schools).
I am so excited to see more parent involvement at MIS. This program is going to be great for the students.
WOW! What a turn-out and what a great program.
