As we bring the Head Start school year to a close, we paused this week for a heartwarming celebration that reminded us just how important the role of a father truly is. With Father’s Day fast approaching, our “Donuts for Dads” event offered the perfect opportunity to honor the incredible dads, grandfathers, uncles, and father figures who show up with love and intention every day.

Bright and early, fathers joined their children for a sweet morning filled with donuts, laughter, and meaningful connection. It was more than just breakfast — it was a chance for our families to create memories in the very classrooms where so much growth and learning take place throughout the year.

There were smiles, hugs, and quiet moments of reflection as children proudly introduced their dads to teachers and friends. The energy in the room was joyful, and the message was clear: fathers matter — not just at home, but here at Head Start, too.

To every man who made time to be there today and every day — thank you. Your presence makes a difference.

From all of us at Head Start, Happy (early) Father’s Day!
