We're the dad volunteers making College Park Elementary awesome. From Panda Fest to Poker Night, we show up for our kids and our community.
The College Park Dads is a volunteer organization of fathers and guardians dedicated to supporting College Park Elementary School in San Mateo, California.
We bring dads together to build community, support our kids' education, and create events that bring families closer. Whether it's running Panda Fest, setting up Movie Night, or just hanging out at Poker Night — we believe involved dads make better schools.
