Over 120+ fathers and father figures participated in the annual Fathers Walk. On Thursday, September 21st, students and their influential adult(s) gathered at Hutchinson Park and walked to Glendale together. Prior to departing for Glendale, some fathers / father figures spoke about the importance of playing a role in their child's life and education. Attendees also recited the Fathers Walk pledge. The pledge is as follows:

• I am responsible for the education of my child.
• I will encourage all children to do their best every day at school.
• I will speak to my child about the value of learning and the importance of reaching your potential.
• I will help with school work and review assignments for completion.
• I will praise my child when he/she does well in school.
• I will speak with my child’s teachers and support them in educating my child.
• I will teach my child the value of education and the value of family.
• I will work with my child’s mother or guardian to achieve the best academic and social outcomes for my child even if I do not live with my child.

Thank you to all who attended!
