Annual Awareness Month
This week, ALL week, we Celebrate Head Start Children and we invite YOU to share your own clips, pictures of your children and their artwork!!! Throughout this week see highlights HERE of our Head Start CHILDREN – yay!
October is Head Start Awareness Month!!! Help spread awareness of Head Start’s life-long, nationwide impact. Start by inviting YOUR representatives at the State House to visit one of your agency programs. First created in 1982 by President Ronald Reagan, Head Start Awareness Month is an opportunity to share at the local, state and national levels the power of Head Start. As President Reagan said in his proclamation, Head Start “has earned recognition and support for its success in early childhood education and development.” Continuing this awareness and creating new champions for Head Start’s mission is not only critical, but also fun. This October, join NHSA in building knowledge of and support for Head Start’s whole-child and whole-community approach to supporting families on their path to success. To help YOU and your agency spread awareness about the life-changing power of Head Start, NHSA is proud to share the new digital version of the Head Start Language Playbook. This new interactive, online version of the Language Playbook can be used by anyone, anywhere, and on any device. [The digital Language Playbook (for NHSA members) is available in both English and Spanish, and is designed to help the Head Start community have better, more effective conversations about our mission with the public.] For more resources and a video, click this link.
