Looking for
Head Start alumni
During this coming year, Head Start a federal funded early childhood
education program, is celebrating their 50th Anniversary of the
beginning of the program in the United States in 1965. Council on
Rural Services has also been involved with the Head Start program since
1975, so we are additionally celebrating our involvement of 40
years.
As part of our celebrations we are looking for individuals or families
that have been involved in the Head Start program over the years.
Do you remember going to preschool in Head Start? We want to hear your
stories; what do you remember about Head Start and how it helped you
and your family to move forward in life.
We know that many of the Head Start alumni have gone on to be
successful in life, with some becoming business owners, teachers,
doctors, attorneys and wonderful parents of their own children. There
are also many celebrity alumni; just look at Chris Rock, Shaquille
O’Neal, and Deion Sanders all with beginnings in Head Start.
Please just email or call me at dbrayfield@councilonruralservices.org
or 937-778-5220 so we can talk. We want your story to become part
of our wonderful celebration of Head Start. Those who have been
touched by this program know the reality of how a Head Start in life
leads to success.
Council on Rural Services provides education, support, and volunteer
services through Head Start, Early Head Start, Kids Learning Place™,
Gateway Youth Programs, Achievement Center for Educational Success
(ACES), Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) in their nine
