Wearing bright vests and greeting students with big smiles, a group of fathers is making a big impact on campus. They're part of Watch D.O.G.S. a national initiative focused on student safety and mentorship.
"I lost a parent very young and I'm recognizing that the positive mentorship I had, has made me successful as a contributor to society," Nethaway said.
Nethaway says their role goes beyond supervision.
The Watch D.O.G.S. program began in 1998 following the Westside Middle School shooting in Arkansas. What started as a local effort has grown into a nationwide movement, now reaching nearly 9,000 schools across the country.
"They bring a level of excitement and enthusiasm and connection that is a little bit different than what our staff can bring because they're family," Jonsrud said.
"It's fun getting to know everyone's dad. It's really fun and amazing, I love it," said second grader Ava Grauke.
"It's actually kind of therapy for me. I have a stressful job and coming out here is a benefit to me as well," Nethaway said.
From high-fives in the cafeteria to helping on the playground, these dads are proving that a simple presence can make a lasting impact.
