Season of Gratitude Has Us Saying Thanks

Happy November Head Start Families!

I want to begin this month by expressing my thankfulness and gratefulness to all of our families. You have supported us throughout the pandemic, and I just need to say thank you! That’s it!

You chose Head Start and believed it was the best place for your child. It IS the best choice because we know from years of tracking data on this incredible model that Head Start Works!

Can you believe that we are in the middle of fall and that the holiday season is upon us? Time flies, but we do have many things planned for the month of November. Always check your calendars and ClassTag for any news on classroom activities for the month.

Also, LCCAA’s main offices will be closed for Veterans Day and the Thanksgiving holiday, check the events page for what your center is doing and mark your calendars!

We recognize that there may be some of you that do not celebrate the holidays. We hope you will still take some time to think on the things you might be thankful or grateful for with your family. We hope you all will join in our fall festivities!

Parents and family members, we want to ensure that we are reaching all eligible families to provide Head Start services. Would you help us by spreading the word about Head Start? Our mission - always - is to reach all eligible families in Lorain County and we are not there yet. We want to be fully enrolled so that we know we are meeting the needs of children and families in our county. So please, tell your friends, family and neighbors about us, won’t you?

I am so grateful that you are here for our Head Start program and we want to provide the best services possible, because you deserve it.

Shauna Matelski, Ed.D. Head Start Director
