Dads' Club

The FES Dads' Club is a voluntary group of dads who are dedicated to the mission of getting dads more involved with their children and within Fairview Elementary.  

The club was founded in 2013, and launched the first "Donuts with Dad" event.  Over 300 dads showed up to have breakfast with their children. Now known as "Daybreak with Dad," this special event takes place several times each school year. 

In addition, the Dads' Club has raised money, and been involved in the school through various dad / children activities.  Some include the annual Daddy Daughter Dance, dads reading in the classroom to support the school's reading initiative, Mom's Night Out events where moms get a "kid free" night, hot breakfast cooked by dads and served by the children, and more.

With the funds raised, the club gives back to the school in various ways that again include a dad / child activity.  Some examples of this are stand up desks that were assembled together then donated to the classroom, buddy benches that were assembled together then placed in the school playgrounds to encourage kids to reach out to others looking for a buddy, funding the stage area of the new playground, and more.

There are also many opportunities for connecting throughout the year with family gatherings, dads connecting as a group by themselves, going to events such as local games or concerts together etc.  The goal of each gathering is to unite to be better and stronger dads in our homes and in Fairview Elementary.
