WATCHDOG Dinner & Orientation

Griffin Cafeteria

6:00 PM - 7:00 PM


WATCHD.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Scholars) is an innovative program focusing on education and safety within campuses using the positive influence of fathers and father figures. The participating men demonstrate by their presence that education is important.


The Dads also provide an extra set of eyes and ears to enhance school security and reduce bullying. Fathers, stepfathers, grandfathers, and uncles are invited to spend at least one day (or part of a day) volunteering at their child's campus.


The support at the Logic & Rhetoric campus includes: Monitoring the school property, greeting scholars in the hallways, assisting with carpool, lending a hand to the custodians, cutting back greenery, eating lunch with scholars, competing during liberty times, etc. 


The campus needs you. Come bond with the Griffins on the Morton Road campus.
