The National Million Father March brought fathers, father figures, and the school community together at PS 47 for a day celebrating the important role that engaged caregivers play in children’s education.
Hosted in partnership with former Assistant Principal Mr. Peay and Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., the event featured a celebratory ceremony, classroom visits where fathers had opportunities to read with students or assist teachers, and time for families to connect with educators and one another.
Counseling In Schools was proud to participate, sharing information about our programs, connecting directly with fathers and caregivers, distributing enrollment materials, and collecting student program consents to help launch CIS services for the school year.
Events like the National Million Father March create meaningful opportunities to strengthen relationships between families and schools. When fathers and father figures are welcomed as active educational partners, students benefit from a broader network of encouragement, care, and support.
At CIS, we believe that strong family-school relationships are essential to helping children thrive socially, emotionally, and academically. We’re grateful to be part of a school community that celebrates the adults who show up for students and looks forward to building those connections throughout the year.
