Watch DOGS

The Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) program is a wonderful volunteer program that brings dads, grandpas, and male family figures into the schools! Students see male role models who value school and volunteers get to spend time in our schools working with kids, playing on the playground, helping out at lunch, and just serving as a positive presence in our schools - it's a win-win-win program!

Here’s the sample schedule  of what your day at OP will look like. If you have questions regarding this program, please email [email protected].
