My Project

I work in a head start part day program (morning and afternoon sessions.) Each day the children come to school eager to learn. We love to be outside and take walks around our neighborhood.

Help us be visible on our walks!

This project is to obtain a walking rope and safety vests to keep us together and make us visible when we are walking. Preschoolers are small and need to be seen when they are walking and crossing the streets. The badge holders will be used for field trips to identify us as a group.
