It is a great day when your Dad or other male role model comes to school with you to help with carpool, play on the playground, help with math, and read in the Media Center. Sign up to spend the day or even just a couple of hours at Ford with our wonderful students! 

• Be introduced on the school news with your child.  The kids love this part!
• Be a great male role model for the kids!  Not every child has a male role model at home.
• Spend time in your child’s class as well as other classes.
• Have lunch with your child.
• Volunteer your time for a half day or full day depending on your schedule.
• Some companies even offer volunteer hours for things like this!
