Description

This event consists of fun activities with food, games and live music. A FREE event open to Arlington ISD Families & the City of Arlington. Arlington ISD Dads Engaged for Excellence is an initiative to encourage dads, uncles, brothers, and other positive male role models to become more active in their students’ education. The presence and involvement of dads and other positive male role models protect children from many vulnerabilities. Engaged fathers, whether living in or outside of home, help foster a child’s overall health and socio-emotional well-being. Father FEST supports this objective by creating an environment for the family where they can come together for fun, food and activities to support the family with tools and resources to support them in • Decreasing the summer slide by giving families tools to support continued learning at home. • Providing resources and opportunities from Community Partners with summer programs to support families with continued learning and opportunities • Hands-on activities giving families ideas and tools centered around building strong family bonds. This is a day where we celebrate responsible fatherhood in Arlington ISD with an event for the entire family. This event consists of fun activities with food, games and live music. This is a FREE event and open to the entire city.
