Happy Father's Day! (Read this blog, then get off the computer and call your dad!)

The safe-school initiative focuses on prevention of violence in schools by using the positive influence of fathers and father figures.

If you want to encourage the fathers in your school, letting them know just how important they are and how needed they are, just start a WatchDOGS program! 93% of men participating report increased involvement in the school, with homework, and feel their relationship with their children is better due to their involvement in this simple program. Our local elementary school was overwhelmed at the response - over 65 fathers where there had been no more than an handful involved in the past 25 years of the school.

Thank you for encouraging all fathers, for children's sake.
