Each month, at my school, we host an All Pro Dad Breakfast. From 7:30-8:30 fathers and their children: eat breakfast, talk, and complete a lesson together. It is great fun. I decided to bring start an All Pro Dad chapter because I was looking for a way to get fathers more involved at our school.
The program has been a success. Each months we host and feed bewtween 40 and 80 fathers and 60-100 students.
I try to make everything in my school reading centered. This year I have been as cheap as possible when purchasing breakfast foods, so that for our final breakfast we would be able to give each student a book.
Today is our final breakfast and I am so excited to hand each reader a new book. Below you will find pictures of some of the boks we will be giving out.

I think it’s the greatest thing that you started this, Colby. I just looked it up-have never heard of it. And the even more greatest thing (not such good writing, I know) is to give each child a book. It’s just super! Thank you!

This is such a great idea, Colby. I am getting ready to put together a Books and Breakfast for 5th grades next year. I will have to keep this in mind for the following year. My one question is, what are the cheap breakfasts and where does the money come from?

The PTA puts up $300 to get us started. Dads throw a few bucks in the donation bucket, and we get the cereal donated.
