Head Start Gear Zone has been proud to present various deigns and design campaigns to our Early Head Start a Head Start staff, but now we want to give them the opportunity to tell us what they want to see in our apparel and what Head Start really means to them through art. We all know someone who loves to draw/create art, we want to offer them an opportunity to share their art and vision of Head Start with all the agencies in region 9.
The Head Start Art Contest is a unique opportunity for people in our community to show off their talents and for us to offer support around the Region. This opportunity will help elevate those in our community with unique talents to step forward and show us how Head Start helps shape their lives through art. 3 winners will be elected and the design will be used to inaugurate Teacher Appreciation Week in May.

I have been to management workshops, not leadership training. This has totally changed my perspective and encouraged me to propel forward in developing my skills.
I am honored and humbled to be a recipient of the Region 9 Head Start Association’s Legacy Scholarship. The scholarship helped me get one step closer to achieving my goal of becoming a Head Start Director.
I took part in The disproportionate impact of COVID 19, and how to provide “real” support for black/brown children and families and I just want to say this was an amazing webinar. I hope we can look forward to further conversation on this topic.
Thank you so much for making events like this! I really enjoyed and learned so much teaching strategies to implement STEM in the classroom.
The HR Network was an excellent opportunity to network and learn the best practices from other HR professionals within Head Start programs. You will be amazed by the level of talent and experience of the participants.
The Summer Camp training was powerful and inspiring! Each presenter was very engaging, it’s hard to even pick a favorite session!
The Leadership Challenge training was very relevant to my work as a Head Start leader! Great facilitation; stayed with the program yet allowed time for individual and small group reflections.
