Donny Mosher, Wellsville, is greeted Friday by excited students at Wellsville Elementary School, 218 Ash St., Wellsville. Mosher participates in the Watch D.O.G.S., or Dads Of Great Students program, at the school. The program, of the National Center for Fathering, gives fathers and father figures a chance to be positive and active role models for students. “It’s nice to have dads in the building ... for students and teachers,” Stephanie Dickey, fourth-grade teacher at Wellsville Elementary School, said.
