In the month of April, our students took a closer look at how communities are built. From the classroom to the construction site, they learned that teamwork, responsibility, and cooperation are what help communities grow. Through our Community Helpers unit, our little Tigers discovered that every helping hand matters.

Welcome and Program Overview The first page features a vibrant illustration of a smiling tiger cub mascot holding a wooden toy block that reads "HEAD START". The header identifies the document as the Fairfield City Schools Head Start & Early Head Start May 2026 Newsletter. Below the image is a section titled "A Word from our Program Manager," featuring a message from Diane Chavers about student growth and the joy of the past month. The bottom section, "News You Can Use!", explains that the newsletter serves as a monthly guide for family connection and important dates.
Important Dates and Digital Launch This page includes an illustration of a tiger cub wearing rainbow-striped overalls and holding a tablet that displays the Facebook logo. A table of "Important Dates" lists upcoming May events, including a Luau-themed Family Day on May 20, a Closing Celebration on May 21, and the last day of school on May 22. The page also announces the launch of a new website and Facebook page powered by the Apptegy platform to provide real-time updates and "student spotlights".
Enrollment and Summer Learning This text-focused page is divided into two main sections: "Enrollment is Now Open" and "Summer Starts at Home". The top section encourages families to act as ambassadors by spreading the word about the program and the "Moms to Be" initiative to neighbors and coworkers. The bottom section provides tips for maintaining educational progress over the summer, such as reading together, practicing sight words, and using digital tools like PBS Kids or ABC Mouse.
Sneaker Ball and Classroom Spotlight Page 4 features a photograph of two teachers, Ms. Tiffany Reese and Mrs. Whitney Thornton, sitting with a group of approximately eight young children in a colorful classroom. The text highlights the "Sneaker Ball Celebration," where students wore formal attire with sneakers to create community memories. Another section spotlights the "Sesame Street" classroom, describing it as a lively space for 2 and 3-year-olds to build leadership skills and kindness.
April Monthly Roundup The final page includes an illustration of a tiger cub at a school desk with a pencil, globe, and a chalkboard displaying "ABC". The "April Monthly Roundup" describes the theme of "Community Helpers," where students learned about roles like firefighters and teachers. It details a special visit from Brittany Dionne of WBRC FOX6 News and a field trip to the zoo, where students practiced care and observation by feeding animals.
