Donuts With Dad
Donuts With Dad
On Friday, October 19, Penn Hills Charter School of Entrepreneurship hosted our annual Donuts with Dad celebration. Our motto this year is "Building relationships to improve academics," and because of that we encouraged our fathers to take the time out of their day to build that bond for a life of leadership. Fathers, role models, and students were given a tie not only for their fathers to keep and be stylish, but to encourage a lesson. A lesson where fathers could teach their children on tieing and wearing a tie to further strengthen the bond between them.
