Aug 8, 2016

Gwinnett County Public Schools started classes Monday, and dads at one local school made sure students got off on the right foot.

A handful of "dads and father figures" lined up outside Dacula Middle School to greet youngsters with high fives and encouragement. The school posted a video on its Facebook page.
