WATCH D.O.G.S.^® is the safe school initiative of the National
    Center for Fathering that was founded by Jim Moore, a concerned
    father who chose to take action in response to a 1998 middle-school
    shooting in Jonesboro, AR.  Moore wanted to help prevent violence from
    occurring at his children’s school or at any school. The first program was
    launched at George Elementary in Springdale, AR, the school of Moore’s
    oldest child. Today,more than 500 programs in 25 states participate in
