`Aikahi Elementary School

Attention Dads: My name is Brant Eggers and I am the Aikahi Elementary School coordinator for the new WATCH DOGS (Dads of Great Students) program being launched at Aikahi Elementary School. Like you, I am a Dad of an Aikahi Elementary School student, actually three students. I’ve assembled a team of 15 Dads to launch this new and exciting program at Aikahi.

WATCH D.O.G.S. is an innovative program focusing on safety and education in our children's schools by using the positive influence of fathers and father-figures for a two-fold purpose: (1) to provide an unobtrusive fathering presence and (2) to provide a positive and active role-model for students at the school. Dads are asked to spend at least one day a year at Aikahi Elementary School volunteering. You will support the school through monitoring the school property, working one-on-one or in small groups, providing requested classroom support to Aikahi teachers, reading, flashcards, homework, playground monitor, listening ears, or for whatever needs to be done to plant seeds of success in the lives of the students.

Keep your eyes out for the WATCH DOGS kick off pizza / movie night that will occur Friday, April 18, 6-8 pm in the cafeteria. For more information and if interested in participating in this program, please contact: Brant Eggers @ (808) 664-9914, (760) 716-3435, or keggers@hawaii.rr.com
