Head Start families are the best! We had our fun end of October week last week, we started with our “pumpkin patch” where Karina, Annie, and Jocelyn set up a beautiful pumpkin patch with pumpkins donated by parents Monica and Isaiah, a backdrop brought in by Karina (thank you Jessica Rosales for letting us borrow your props) Children and parents went out to the field where children picked up the best pumpkin to bring to our family night to decorate. During the week we had wild west day, both staff and students showed off their western wear. Pajama day was enjoyed by all as well as superhero/princess day on the last day of the week.

¡Las familias de Head Start son las mejores! Tuvimos nuestra divertida semana de fin de octubre la semana pasada, comenzamos con nuestro "huerto de calabazas" donde Karina, Annie y Jocelyn montaron un hermoso huerto de calabazas con calabazas donadas por los padres Mónica e Isaiah, un telón de fondo traído por Karina (gracias, Jessica Rosales por permitirnos tomar prestados sus accesorios) Los niños y los padres salieron al campo donde los niños recogieron la mejor calabaza para llevar a nuestra noche familiar para decorar. Durante la semana tuvimos el día del vaquero, tanto el personal como los estudiantes mostraron su ropa vaquera. El día del pijama fue disfrutado por todos, así como el día de la superheroína/princesa el último día de la semana.

Our annual Week of the Young Child Celebration came to its fun finale on Thursday! From April 8th through the 11th, we happily honored our youngest learners, their families, educators, and highlighted the importance of early childhood education! Lamar Head Start started off the week with a visit from a great musician, who is also a father in our program. Tuesday, we invited parents to eat a tasty breakfast with their child, Wednesday we invited athletes from LCC to come spend time with our students during outdoor time and finally on Thursday, we walked to Lamar Community College. This culminated a total experience for Week of the Young Child. Many parents volunteered to walk with us, the Lamar Police Department stopped traffic so we could safely cross the highway and Dion and Laurie from LCC guided us through the innovate space where children had their face painted and drew with their friends while they waited. We also visited the cosmetology area for hair paint and tinsel, finishing up in the library for a few stories before walking back to the center just in time for lunch. Thank you to all the agencies for helping us make this week happen. Ms. Cecilia Center Manager at Lamar Head Start
