Head Start Program Old

Join us for the 12th Annual Friends of Head Start Extravanganza! Extravaganza hosts live music, live and silent auctions, refreshments and hors d’oeuvres with special emphasis on sales of potted plants in vessels created and donated by local artists. Funds that Friends of Head Start earn through Extravaganza specifically support the local high quality RMDC Head Start Program through:

School to Home Projects – monthly during the school year a parent/child project is sent home that includes the supplies/materials to do the project, a book the project is based on, and parent education materials to help develop a child’s school readiness skills. We want to help children build a library of books!
Bookshelf Builds – children and their dads/dad figures build a bookshelf together to hold books provided in School to Home Projects and at classroom and family events, etc.
Classroom and Program Needs – funds from Extravaganza support purchasing and replacing much needed classroom and program materials. This past fall, Friends of Head Start donated funds to help purchase much needed space in the north Helena Valley for a classroom to meet the needs of valley families.
