Pettis gave the fathers information
about community resources that can help them
with issues such as child support and visitation
rights. As an added attraction, the collaboration
held a drawing for tickets to Milwaukee Bucks
games for fathers and students.
Parents Plus followed the successful
“Donuts with Dad” with a “Muffins for Mom”
event at the middle school. Events such as
these are among many that the resource center
sponsors in Milwaukee schools to develop
positive parenting skills and to improve student
achievement by increasing parent involvement
in schools.
