Our June issue is here, and with Father’s Day around the corner, this one feels especially fitting.

This month, we’re spotlighting Bathgate Elementary School Watch D.O.G.S., Dads Of Great Students. It’s a group of dads, grandfathers, uncles and father figures who show up on campus in simple but meaningful ways.

Opening car doors. Reading in classrooms. Playing handball at recess. Being present.

It’s a great reminder that sometimes the biggest impact comes from the everyday moments kids never forget.
