Upcoming Volunteer Opportunities
Watch D.O.G.S.
Who are WatchDOGS (Dads of Great Students)?
WatchDOGS are fathers, grandfathers, uncles, and other father-figures who volunteer for at least one day each year at an official WATCH D.O.G.S.® school.
During the day, WatchDOGS sign up: play at recess, eat lunch with students, and assist with arrival and/or dismissal where they actively engage with not only their own students, but other students as well. Many school principals have reported that the mere presence of a WatchDOG dramatically reduces reports of bullying. On the day of their participation, WatchDOGS are given a brief review of their involvement and they wear an official WATCH D.O.G.S vest borrowed from the school.

Reading is Sweet!
LAMP is challenging our community to read 1,000 minutes each and raise $20,000 from January 12th - February 9th. The more you and your student read and raise, the closer they'll get to their goal!
That is only reading 30 minutes a day and $30 dollars per student pledged to make their goal. As part of the fun, creative volunteers are needed to help plan, create, and decorate the gym as a candy wonderland for a big reading event on February 4th!
