Male role models are a major part of a child's education, and the National Watch D.O.G.S. program hopes to get dads and father figures into the classroom.

There are schools across the country that participate, including Schrader Elementary School in New Port Richey.

The male role models involved in the program can include fathers, grandfathers, uncles and other father figures. According to the group, they can volunteer for at least one day each year.
