Hoopa Valley Tribal Council members, teachers and kids all grabbed shovels Monday and did a little digging for the Hoopa Valley Head Start groundbreaking ceremony. The ceremony started the second phase of the new building that will be built next to the Early Head Start Building adjacent to the Tribal office. The Head Start program prepares three and four-year-olds for elementary school. Head Start Director Kadoo Henry said the space the program currently uses is too small for the 68 kids enrolled in the program. “This is a milestone for us,” Henry said. Planning for the building took 10 years. So when Henry saw the barrier fence and construction equipment she new she wasn’t dreaming. “It’s real now,” she said. The new building will attach the Early Head Start building and the two will share a large kitchen. It will have three classrooms. Each classroom will have a teacher and two aides. The program’s staff was involved with the planning throughout the process. Construction should be completed by late December. “Our culture and our people are living on, and it’s through these kids,” said Vice Chairman Byron Nelson during a brief speech at the ceremony. It’s easy to say that kids are the future, but it’s true said the Vice Chairman./Photo by Scottie Lee Meyers Read More →
