For so many years there have been "room mothers" and mothers volunteering at schools, which is nice, but look at the difference a group of dads made in such a short time. This school went from 23 kids being arrested for fighting to zero fights. The children have said how they immediately felt a sense of safety. Our children need and deserve this! Hopefully, this will go nationwide and some of you will help to fill the void for children with no male presence in their lives due to no fault of their own.
