It's true... WatchDOGS rule the school! The children get so excited to see any of the "Dads of Great Students" (DOGS) as they roam the hallways. WatchDOGS are fathers, grandfathers, uncles, and other father figures who volunteer for at least one day each school year. During the day, WatchDOGS may read with students, work on flash cards with the kids, play at recess, eat lunch with their child, watch the school entrances and hallways, assist with traffic flow, mentor students, or perform any other assigned activities. They actively engage with not only their child(ren), but other students as well.
The WatchDOGS program was launched at Terraset in 2012 and has grown from strength to strength each year. The WatchDOGS Hall of Fame now has over 85 photos to salute each visit. We thought you may like to see how our WatchDOGS spend their day... just in case you are thinking about signing up!
On Wednesday, December 17th, 2014, Brian Blase was one of Terraset's WatchDOGS for the day. Here is some insight into his Day.
 |
| Brian got to spend some time with his son, Spencer, in the classroom. Here they are in a music lesson! |
 |
| Time to help the office staff! Mail deliveries to all the teachers. |
 |
| Lunch time! All the kids want to sit next to the WatchDOG! |
 |
| Quick moment of quiet in the library... time to catch up on "real job" email. |
 |
| O-oh.. sore head! Escort a student to the clinic for an ice-pack. |
 |
| Time for PE. First stop, information station for safety tips from Mr. Costello. |
 |
| WatchDOGS are a welcome sight in the hallways. Brian is preparing for his next round of "hi-fiving". |
 |
| What a blast to be able to do the monkey bars... with a little bit of help from one of our WatchDOGS. |
 |
| This is how you do it Dad! |
 |
| Bye Spencer's Dad! thanks for coming! |
