Kiddie Academy provided individually packed donuts and coffee for Donuts with Dad June 19 to celebrate Father's Day.
This year's annual event was different due to COVID-19. Normally, fathers would be able to sit in their kids' classrooms and have a donut with them, but this year, Kiddie Academy had a table by the front door for fathers to take donuts and coffee to go.Â
"I'm glad to see this place still has time to celebrate even with everything that's going on," Justin Wisniewski said. "It's really nice."
