EDUCATION ALERT… School Year…2026-27

SHAMEFUL: The Trump administration is planning to gut Head Start, a program offering free preschool to over half a million children.

The administration plans to remove quality standards and require more paperwork for hardworking families who need support the most.

This comes after many Head Start programs had to temporarily close over the past year due to the Trump administration’s funding cuts.

Donald Trump is taking away education from young children.

Unconscionable…I was so fortunate to begin my teaching career in 1972… Head Start and Federal Programs began 1965…Thanks to President Lyndon Baines Johnson…We had such hope…

I did have the Blessed opportunity to lead a Headstart Parenting group in 1974…Parent involvement essential…Together we can educate our precious children…

Save Standard Time…

Daylight Savings Time does give us more daylight…
However, our precious children waiting for school buses and arriving at school in the dark is dangerous!!!
Speaking from experience…

When I was teaching…Each day, I would arrive at school around 6:15 in the dark, and parents who needed to leave early for work would drop off their children in the darkness too. Fortunately, we were able to keep our cafeteria open…Our Cafeteria Ladies were already preparing breakfast…

Permanent DST would cause the sunrise to be past 8am more than 3 months in most states and past 9am in 18 states. It cost children’s lives when last tried! Ditch the switch with permanent Standard Time instead.

A child can teach an adult three things:

To be happy for no reason
To always be curious
To fight tirelessly for something…

…Earth Day 2026…We Once Made Earth Day 2023…a Priority…

Ever since Donald Trump was elected, it’s easy to feel like our most precious children aren’t always our top priority… However, remember that their future depends on us… Let’s do everything we can to safeguard our beautiful world for them and generations to come…
