Friday I had the opportunity to hang out with Reia at her school. Reia is in Kindergarden at Charles Haskell Elementary, and they have a program called ‘Watch D.O.G.S”. The program was adopted a few years back, and here is what there website says about it:

WATCH D.O.G.S.^® (Dads Of Great Students) is the safe school initiative of the National Center for Fathering that involves fathers and father figures to help create a more safe and secure learning environment in our nation’s schools.

So Friday afternoon I got to hang out with Reia, read in her class, participate in some class activities, play on the playground with all the kiddos, walk around and make sure all the doors were locked, and generally just help out some teachers. It was really cool just seeing school through Reia’s eyes and being in her environment. I highly recommend it for anyone who is a “Dad”.
