Executive Directors Message…

Dear Community Members,

It is my pleasure to present to you this year’s accomplishments and forward move-ment on our goals. It takes a great team to build a great organization, and I am privileged to lead this dedicated, hard-working and creative team.

We have had two accomplishments this past year of which I am particularly proud.

The first one was the completion of the infant toddler classrooms at the Oak View Center in Redding. This was the final stage of our campus there, and has taken several years to complete. We had a beauti-ful reception for the community on November 17, 2016, and we dedicated the new rooms to Judie Smith, our former Executive Director. Judie was on hand to help us celebrate and to greet the community.

The second project was the completion of our Countryside Early Head Start center on East Street in An-derson. This center serves infants and toddlers and will complement the services for toddlers and pre-schoolers at Anderson Park nearby.

Completion of these long-term projects involves the contribution of many people, and I so appreciate all who were involved. I want to especially mention Gordon Chatham, Operations Director, who served as the manager for these projects.

I hope you will enjoy reading our annual report and getting a snapshot of all the wonderful ways that we are making a positive difference in our communities here at Shasta Head Start, and giving our children and families a strong start in life!

Yours truly,

Carla Clark Carla Clark Executive Director
