Angels and Watch D.O.G.S.

Two new programs at Lake Highlands Elementary, Angels and Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students), are having a big impact in the academic lives of struggling students while giving the entire campus a boost, writes Advocate contributor Carol Toler.

Angels are parents who work as mentors and tutors for disadvantaged students. Watch D.O.G.S. gives fathers a strong presence on campus; 45 dads and counting already have signed up.
