The schedule for the week was rather hectic as most be ginning school days are. Project Head Start In Newton County will reach 225 children and their parents and Involve some 50 paid community workers and 200 or more volunteers. In eight weeks this summer, as last summer, Head Start will try to make some headway ag ainst the sad fact that too many children are not emotionally, psychologically or physically ready to bridge the gap between homes that do not provide them with experiences that attune them to the public schools. This pro ject puts children of ages five, six and seven who have not been able to attend kindergarten into a “child development center” where under close personal at tention they will be encouraged by simple successes to avoid the spiral of failure that often starts with school’s first day. They will have free: physical examin ations, dental care, two meals, a snack between meals and at least one educational field trip per week; such as: children zoo, Grant Park, etc.. Commendations goes to the parent and community workers who supported Head Start in 1965 and to the overwhelming large number who turned out on reg istration day, June 13, 1966. Much thought and hard work were given for the purpose of making it possible for us to have Head Start this year In order that the children In our community would get the benefit of the experiences that It provides. “The above statement being true, we ask the parents and vol unteer workers to continue to give their support as they have In the past,’’stated C.
