Our story

History

How Frank Black dads came together to give back to our campus.

Dads have skills, tools and a few free hours. Our school has projects that need doing. Put the two together and good things happen.

The Dads Club of Frank Black Middle School brings dads, and their kids, together to improve our campus. We take on projects requested by teachers, administration and the maintenance team: classrooms, grounds, athletic facilities and anything else that makes FBMS a better place to learn and work.
