In recognition of Head Start Awareness Month
by Cher yl Tom
Warm Springs Head Start
President Ronald Reagan pro-
claimed October as Head Start
Awareness Month on October 22,
1982. There are currently 1,500
community-based organizations in
all 50 states and U.S. territories, in-
cluding Guam, Puerto Rico and
the Virgin Islands.
Head Start is a national program
that promotes school readiness by
enhancing the social and cognitive
development of children through
educational, health, nutritional,
social and other services for en-
rolled children and families.
Classroom teams focus on help-
ing pre-schoolers develop the early
reading and math skills and the
social skills they need to be suc-
cessful in school.
Head Start has a long tradition
of delivering comprehensive ser-
vices designed to foster healthy
development in the most vulner-
able young children, including
those with special needs.
The Warm Springs Head Start
program offers services to 112
children ages 3 through 5, and their
families residing in and around the
Warm Springs community.
We also offer an Early Head
Start Program for pregnant moth-
ers and children up to age 3.
The Warm Springs Head Start
Program is a center-based pro-
gram offering classes five days a
week 7 hours a day.
Our Early Head Start program
offers what is called a home visi-
tation program that also offers
socialization classes at the Early
Childhood Education Center once
a month.
Warm Springs is one of the
original Head Start Programs to be
in operation for over 50 years.
Head Start offers assistance in
accessing comprehensive health
services including physical exams,
dental exams, nutritional needs,
hearing/vision screenings, immu-
nizations and developmental
screenings.
Head Start programs engage
parents in their children’s learning,
and can help them to make
progress toward their educational,
literacy and employment goals.
Significant emphasis is placed on
the involvement of parents in the
local Head Start programs. Par-
ents are involved through their lo-
cal parent committees and through
the Head Start Policy Council.
We encourage parents to volun-
teer in their child’s classroom at any
time; come enjoy breakfast, lunch
or a snack with your child.
There are many opportunities
to enhance parenting and teach-
ing skills by helping plan and teach
activities to your child(ren). Be
on the lookout for learning op-
portunities at the many special
family events during the school
year.

Veterans Day is celebrated
each year on November 11 to
honor military veterans. The day
was originally called Armistice
Day because it marked the an-
niversary of the end of World
War 1, at the eleventh hour on
the eleventh day of the eleventh
month of 1918.
The holiday was renamed Vet-
erans Day in 1954.
Serving the United States in
the Ar med Forces, Native
Americans carry on a tradition
of protection.
The warrior, for us, is one who
sacrifices himself for the good of oth-
ers. His task is to take care of the
elderly, the defenseless, those who
cannot provide for themselves, and
above all, the children—the future
of humanity. - Sitting Bull
