Mini-Grants
for the
​
Head Start Community
​
Programs, Staff and Parents
The What Color Is Your Imagination? book has Head Start as part of its history. I was a Head Start Director at the time of its creation and it was for my staff at an all staff meeting where it was first presented. Therefore, as part of the publication of the book, I wanted to honor and involve the Head Start community by offering three mini-grants.

Head Start Community, each for $500.
