Dads and men in our community visit our school every morning to greet students, promote character development, and set a positive example of involvement and leadership.
They start by being at the school early before everyone arrives with their “iLead” t-shirt on. They are giving high fives, fist bumps, and promoting an enthusiastic and healthy start to the day. Finally, they make their way to an assigned classroom to be a guest speaker on their career, talk about healthy life choices and/or character, conduct read alouds, lead math games, etc.
We have found that elementary schools are full of positive female role models, but there is a lack of opportunities for male leadership and influence. iLead has made great strides in bridging this gap, by inviting and challenging men to make a difference and join the team! The positive energy that this program generates is amazing!
Any gentleman or lady (mentor only) who wants to make a difference in our community by being a part of the iLead program completely fill out the two forms below and we will be in contact with you once they are processed.
