Salvation Army 8^th -12^th graders: About six times each year dads and students volunteer side by side at the Salvation Army for an evening of community service, feeding the homeless and helping to change peoples’ lives. Come once or come to all. Show your child the way we give back to others at ESD and to the community. This has become very popular and there are usually 20 to 30 dads and students there each time. Students also receive three community service hours.

Bowling Night for 5th and 6th Graders: This one is just for fun and a good time is had by all!  Once a year dads and children enjoy a night of friendly competition bowling with your child’s friends and their dads. It is a requirement that dad’s inner child must show up for entertainment value! Just hang out and have fun together.

Dads Serve Breakfast: Every day different dads come with their children early to school and help check out their children’s friends that come to breakfast that day. We have dads volunteering every day! This is one of our most popular events with the flexibility of dads schedule and a great way to get to know your child’s friends better.

Dads Eat Breakfast with Childs Entire Class: This event is fun for all and you get the chance to meet the dads in your students grade level. We will email you when your child’s class is designated to have breakfast with dad before school and you just show up. Each class will do this once a year (but you are always welcome to come to school early and eat breakfast with your child any day).
