Fathers come out to support Oklahoma City children
A group of Oklahoma fathers is organizing an event called Take Your Child to School Day, and seven Oklahoma City schools will be part of the inaugural event.
Briace Stubbs leaned down to eye level with his son and wiped the 4-year-old's nose. The little boy laughed and swatted his dad's hand away. Stubbs leaned in and patted his boy on the shoulder.

Stubbs walks his children — first-grader Donajha and pre-kindergartener Bravion — into school every day, but this day was special.
Friday morning was the inaugural Take Your Child to School Day at seven Oklahoma City schools. Nearly 300 fathers or father figures took part.
Fathers and father figures dropped off students for the special event Friday morning at Douglass Mid-High School, Edwards Elementary, Edgemere Elementary, KIPP Academy, Martin Luther King Elementary, Moon Academy and Parks Elementary.
Stubbs was one of about 80 dads at Martin Luther King, 1201 NE 48.
“If you have a male role model in your life, it's important, especially these days,” Stubbs said. “I bring them to school every morning. ... It makes them feel more confident.”
Donajha, 6, said it makes her happy that her dad brings her.
“I like when he does that,” she said. “If he doesn't come with us, I'm kind of freaking out. It feels good that he comes with us.”
The dads dressed up in suits and ties and dressed down in T-shirts and shorts. They put on stickers that read “I Took My Child to School Today.”
