Dads Take Your Child to School Day was held at Graham School on Friday, September 16, 2022. Other Mount Vernon City School District schools will participate in the event next week. Students led their fathers up the stairs into school, and they went to the gym to enjoy breakfast together. Many students and some parents were wearing pajamas, as it was also pajama day at the school. The students and parents ate while PTA sign-up sheets were passed around, and Principal Dr. Natasha Hunter-McGregor thanked everyone for coming and urged them to get more involved.
