In today’s column:
- Toledo Schools Late Start Today
- Head Start: More Than Early Childhood Education
- Senior Center Second Saturday Breakfast
Last night’s almost full waxing gibbous moon.
***
Posted last night: Toledo Schools will be on 2-hour late start on Friday 2/10 to allow safe passage through and around flooded roads. If your home is inaccessible due to downed trees or flood waters, please notify your child's school to excuse his/her absence. Safety first!
PSA: Toledo schools closures via Facebook, radio and TV. Download the PDF link on District FB page listing all media outlets including flash alerts.
***
Toledo’s Head Start Program moved last Fall to 6.5 hour days from two half-day sessions, predicted by one parent long familiar with Head Start as certain to make the move to full-time kindergarten days easier on the students and teachers alike. But that’s not all they do.

Head Start is operated by non-profit Reliable Enterprises in Lewis County. Public Awareness & Outreach Coordinator Melody Porter distributed information to City Hall and around town last week including info on free resources for early childhood developmental screening for children birth to 5 years, a baby clothing bank, and monthly Lewis County Parent To Parent Coffee & Conversations at Fiddlers Coffee in Centralia.
Volunteer opportunities are available at the Toledo location. Email Area Manager Toni Nelson, tnelson@lewiscountyheadstart.org or call (360)864-2350 to make a positive difference in your community, and in young lives.
