I have been researching and studying the National Head Start Association. The newsletter for the week of May 25, 2012 had several topics that I found interesting and issues that I support. For the past two years I have been calling Congress voicing my opinion about the importance of the Head Start program. The newsletter had an article entitled, “Tell President Obama What Head Start Means To You!” Now you know I jumped on this opportunity. i just had so much to say that I wrote it down first so I wouldn’t forget anything. For my followers who work in Head Start or just think that it is a great and necessary program to have in the early childhood field the website that you can email your story to is http://www.supportheadstart.org. Please email your story, feelings, and opinions to President Obama. Remember Head Start is a program that serves at-risk children.
The newsletter spoke about how President Obama has always supported Head Start and Early Head Start, but the economy is going to force him and his administrative staff to make some decisions that might change the program. On another note, the newsletter spoke about the 28 million graduates that have come through the program since it was established.
