Watch D.O.G.S.

WATCH D.O.G.S. is a national organization with more than 5,000 registered schools across the United States, Canada, China, Mexico, Barbados and Puerto Rico (read more). The program strives to provide positive male role models in our schools by asking dads, grandpas, uncles, older brothers, etc to volunteer at least one day a year within our school.

During the last school year, more than 70 Carlisle dads and father figures served as WatchDOGS volunteers during the school day, up from 60 the year before. By taking a full or half day to work with students in small groups, one-on-one settings and by floating around the classroom to help teachers keep students on task, they have a lot of fun and make a great impact on Carlisle students. In fact, 100% of the Carlisle dads who took a survey at the end of a WatchDOGS day said they would recommend that other dads volunteer.

(If you're not familiar with the WatchDOGS program, this Today show segment does a nice job of explaining it.)
