‘Dads in Schools’ seeking volunteers to help curb school violence in Las Vegas Valley

LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) - As student and school safety remains an ongoing concern in the Las Vegas Valley, one group is doing its part to support and help expand safety efforts.

Approved volunteers will be trained in the Dads In Schools protocol for safe school resources. The training helps participants understand the impact and importance of their presence. With 136 schools currently signed up, the group is looking for more volunteers.

You can also get involved by enjoying some food, as Crazy Pita at 8140 S. Rainbow Blvd. will host an all-day fundraiser and awareness drive this weekend.

The restaurant will donate 25% of all proceeds on Saturday, June 10 to Dads in Schools.
