The Dads' Club was founded in 1995 by David and Melanie Frazier, and was created to encourage Briargrove Dads to become more involved in school activities by creating an environment where we can utilize our time and talents while having fun. The Dads' Club has grown over the last few years to include many different activities and fund-raising events with the largest being the annual Golf Tournament. Since it's inception and with the help of contributing sponsors the Dads' Club has been responsible for, or been a significant contributor to, the following projects:
For our new building
- Provided the brick and wrought iron fence around the perimeter of the school
- Provided the covered brick patio
For the original building
- Installed sound system in the cafeteria
- Purchased TVs for the school
- Wired the school for CATV and provided equipment to create BGTV
- Wired the school for technology, including Internet access
- Provided a covered play area over the blacktop with the "Raise the Roof" Project
- Coordinated and/or directly funded the donation and installation of over 65 computers
- Purchased 6 digital cameras (one for each grade) for use on class projects
With your help, we can make the Dads' Club a success. Every Briargrove Dad is already a member! There are no dues or fees to join, so get involved. All you have to do is come to one of the meetings, or email us to find out how you can help. We look forward to getting to know you!
All proceeds will help the Dads' Club achieve its goal of making our new school more aesthetically pleasing, covering items (such as a nice fence surrounding the school) which are not included in the HISD construction budget.
Thank you for supporting the Dads' Club efforts to improve our school!
