Christel House Academy held its third All Pro Dad Breakfast Friday. Students were encouraged to invite a special male figure in their life to join them for breakfast at the school. Food was provided, as well as the opportunity to spend quality time with one another. The event was held in the upper gymnasium of the school and drew in approximately 70 fathers and students.

At the breakfast, fathers and their children discussed this month’s topic: validation. After watching a short video clip, parents were asked to consider the importance of the words they choose to use and how they can affect other people. Parents and students were then given time to validate one another. The event was a definite confidence booster for the students and parents.

After the discussion, everyone was encouraged to continue giving validation to other people in their daily lives. The breakfast ended with a raffle. Each attendee had been given a raffle ticket when signing in for breakfast. There were five lucky winners who took home Colts gear!

The breakfasts have really brought a strong sense of community to Christel House Academy and we are excited to continue this tradition!

All Pro Dad is the fatherhood program of Family First, a national non-profit organization dedicated to strengthening families and is supported by the NFL. The All Pro Dads program at CHA is made possible by a Sharing the Dream Grant from the NAESP.

The Sharing the Dream grant, funded with generous support from the Met Life Foundation, enables principals to test ideas on how to involve and engage their communities to build wider ownership for the work of the school by sharing leadership and decision-making.
