Lincoln School: Dads take your child to school day
Lincoln School welcomed over 50 fathers and father figures during Dads Take Your Child to School Day on Thursday, September 22, 2022. Once the children began their school day, dads gathered in the auditorium for breakfast and a short presentation.
“We love the support of our fathers and father figures in our students’ lives,” said Rebecca Jones, principal of Lincoln School.
Ms. Jones welcomed all the dads, thanking them for their time, and stressed the importance and significance of fathers showing up for their children at school.
Ralph Burts, former principal of Nelson Mandela High School, spoke and encouraged accountability.
“We need to see you here on a regular basis,” said Burts. “It is important to see fathers come to school.”
Burts went on to discuss the significance of reading to children, making sure they get a good night's sleep, and always pushing them to strive to be better. He also added the importance of knowing their children’s interests and ambitions and working together with the school.
