It’s official, this month will be dedicated to “Head Start Awareness.” Hillsborough County Board of Count Commissioners have been behind the Head Start Awareness program for more than forty three years. The Head Start Awareness program is funded through Health and Human services. It was created to increase the public’s awareness of the program and it’s benefits.
Hillsborough public schools have helped the working poor families by providing the best education, health and nutrition to children. The program also work with families and give them opportunities to participate within their community. There are currently 1,759 children around the age of four participating within 50 elementary schools. 48,000 classrooms in the United States depend on the program.
Their schools have one of the largest Head Start programs in the south east. It is run by many teachers and volunteers who are dedicated to help children. A new teacher, Bridget Tracy said, “I think Head Start Awareness month is a great way to bring teachers and administrators together. It is nice to be reminded on how much of a positive effect it has on children.” This month community members can come together and embrace what the program has to offer.
