HOLIDAY HAPPENINGS AT OUR CLEMSON HEAD START

HOLIDAY HAPPENINGS AT OUR CLEMSON HEAD START CENTER

SHARE Head Start of Clemson has been gearing up for the holiday season thanks to our amazing families and donors! The children were greeted with a Grinch-themed Christmas tree when they arrived back at the center after Thanksgiving break. This beautiful tree was donated and decorated by Southern Basements of Fair Play and one of our student’s fathers.

The children at the Clemson center have been working diligently to earn Head Start Bucks through their daily classroom jobs. Before Christmas break, they were able to spend their money on donated items in our ‘Christmas Store’. This allowed our children to learn real financial skills while also selecting Christmas gifts for their families.

Our families were able to enjoy a Children’s Musical at our parent meeting, where a donor provided refreshments for the parents. This was an incredible engagement opportunity for both our parents and children.

SHARE Head Start of Clemson is also very grateful to our many donors this holiday season. Aramark, located at Clemson University, in partnership with Mrs. Adraine Jackson-Garner, donated food boxes containing a meal, snacks, and waters for our families. Our children were also blessed with Christmas gifts of their own, including stuffed animals donated by Mrs. Adraine and a stack of books for each child donated by Mr. Painter.

SHARE Head Start of Clemson would like to sincerely thank all of our donors who provide these wonderful opportunities for our children. We wish you all a Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday Season, and a Joyous New Year!
