Dads Take Your Child to School Day is observed annually in September in Florida’s schools. The Dads Take Your Child to School Day initiative serves to highlight and support fatherhood engagement in education by helping schools foster this important connection with fathers and father figures. Research indicates engaging dads, brothers, uncles, father figures, other significant male role models, and male mentors, increases student success in numerous ways.

For more information about the day, you can visit the FDOE's web page here: http://www.fldoe.org/schools/family-community/activities-programs/parental-involvement/dads.stml 

Our PTA did not learn of this event until mid-September, so we will get ready for a bigger event next year.  There will still be a "Donuts with Dads" event in the Spring.  Until then, thank you DADS!!
