Fatherhood in action at Head Start - Luzerne County Head Start

When fathers are active partners in their children’s learning and development, everyone benefits.

For the third year in a row, Luzerne County Head Start participated in the nationwide Million Fathers March. A project of the nonprofit Fathers Incorporated, the initiative encourages fathers, father figures and other male role models to demonstrate their commitment to their children’s education by escorting them to school.

The agency’s Head Start, Pre-K Counts and Early Head Start sites throughout Luzerne and Wyoming counties invited their children’s fathers and fathers figures for special activities, including a dance, breakfast and playground picnics. It was an incredible day for family engagement at LCHS.
