Dads' Day, by Kaye Myers, former Head of Early Childhood


In the fall of 1986, fathers of Early Childhood students received the first invitation to Dads’ Day.  For the next twenty-seven years dads have accompanied their children to school for a half day of great activities as students shaved their dads with shaving cream and popsicle sticks, made and flew paper airplanes, challenged dad to Giant Gym activities, etc. For many years Jack Shumard and his many reptiles made frequent appearances and almost everyone wanted to hold his eight foot boa constrictor. The parade of motor vehicles was always a big hit:  eighteen wheelers, patrol cars, fire trucks, concrete mixers and a variety of automobiles and motor cycles.  Each year dads or their surrogates are greeted by exciting adventures with their sons and daughters.
