Media Advisory: District’s First Ever Take A Child To School Day Invites Fathers and Male Role Models Back to School
Pittsburgh Public Schools has seen monumental success with its annual Take A Father to School Day. Now, in partnership with the Take A Father to School Day Committee, fathers, grandfathers, cousins, uncles, brothers, community leaders, and positive male role models are invited to participate in Take A Child to School Day.
