Luzerne County Head Start, Inc.
recently received notice from the
U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services that they have
been granted expansion money for
the 1985-86 school year. This money
enables them to open two new
centers.
New centers will be located at the
Garrison Elementary School in
Shickshinny and the Evans Falls
Elementary School in Wyoming
County. Sites for the new centers
were selected after determining
where the greatest need existed for
the pre-school program. The open-
ing of the center in Wyoming
County marks the first time that
children from that county will be
able to attend a Head Start pro-
gram.
The expansion allows for 68 addi-
tional children to receive services.
Thirty-two children will be enrolled
in each of the new centers. The four
remaining slots will be allocated to
centers which are currently operat-
ing in Luzerne County. This brings
the total number of children served
by the program to 448.
There are a total of 67 Head Start
programs in the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania. Of these, 17 received
expansion money for the 1985-86
school year. The Luzerne County
program received the highest
number of expansion slots in thes-
tate. The local program was also
one of two programs to receive
expansion money botyh last year
and this year.
Children eligible for enrollment
must be four years of age by
September 30th to enroll in the
Shickshinny center and four years
of age by September 1st to enroll in
the Wyoming County center. These
dates correspond with school enroll-

The banks were distributed in
July, and all proceeds will go
toward alleviating hunger in the
United States and abroad through
the United Methodist Committee on
Relief (UMCOR). Hunger is a
major concern facing the United
Methodist Church today, and 80
percent of the gifts received will
respond to the hunger problem
abroad and 20 percent will be
applied to domestic hunger-poverty.
In many countries the people are
suffering from the effects of the
erratic weather and acute economic
recession.
The hardest hit area, and possibly
the most widely publicized, is in
Africa, but there are other areas of
need as well. The monies received
will go to dig wells and build
irrigation systems; provide seed
and tools; establish nutrition cen-
ters and primary health care facili-
ties; teach functional literacy, sani-
tation, and community
development.
The Reverend James A. Wert is
pastor and The Reverend Harriet L.
Santos is Associate Pastor.
