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. Page 5 Vets activities coming up by Sue Matters KWSO Springs IHS, 541-553-1196.

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 In Warm Springs there are several veteran events on the calendar: On Friday, November 11, the Warm Springs Veterans Sum- mit 2016 will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Commu- nity Center.
