Million Father March Reaches Benton Harbor on First Day of School

CALLING FATHERS! Join the “Take your Child to the First Day of School” Campaign


The Black Star Project is sponsoring the Million Father March 2010 on the first day of school in nearly 300 cities across America, including Benton Harbor, according to local resident Samantha Maben, who is coordinating the March in the Twin Cities area.

Benton Harbor schools will begin its first day of school on Tuesday, September 7, 2010, along with other area schools. This can become a special day that fathers and men use to make a commitment to their children, families, communities and country with their dynamic presence at a school...

... Research shows that children whose fathers take an active role in their educational lives earn better grades, score higher on tests, enjoy school more and are more likely to graduate from high school and attend college.
