This week, the PRP OVEC Head Start little learners brought their gardening unit to life through art! The children explored the flowers they've been studying by painting their own colorful blooms, practicing creativity while learning more about the world growing around them. We love seeing hands-on learning blossom in the classroom! πŸŒ±πŸ’

What an amazing day at the 2026 Dart for Head Start 5K Run & Walk! πŸŽ‰πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

Thanks to everyone who came out to support this past weekend. Because of our incredible community, we raised a record-breaking $12,211.40 for OVEC Head Start, our biggest year yet!

From our runners and walkers to our volunteers, sponsors, and race-day team, thank you for helping make this event such a success. Seeing so many people come together in support of Head Start was inspiring and a great reminder of what we can accomplish when we work together. You have helped to increase educational opportunities for the children and families we serve.

We're still smiling from an unforgettable day and are already looking forward to making next year bigger and better!

It’s graduation season, and we love this time of year because we get to celebrate all the incredible milestones our OVEC Head Start kiddos have made throughout the school year. πŸŽ“βœ¨

The Clear Creek students marked the occasion with a special end-of-year celebration filled with smiles, songs, and sweet memories. Families got to look back on highlights from the year, enjoy a special performance from their little learners, and cheer them on as they received their certificates of completion.

We are so proud of how much these kiddos have grown and cannot wait to see all the amazing things they accomplish next! πŸ’™
