THE REDDING RANCHERIA HEAD START & CHILD CARE 500 – BOX CAR RACE Redding Rancheria Head Start & Child Care

On Wednesday, March 23rd, the Redding Rancheria Head Start & Child Care held the annual Head Start 500- Box Car Race. Children and parents were very creative with all of their box car designs! Each box reflected the child’s personality or interests. Children started off the race week learning safety tips from our friends, Jason Morton and Brian Singleton, from the California Highway Patrol. On Wednesday the children got to attend their very own Drive in Movie and while sitting in their box cars and enjoying some popcorn. On race day, parents cheered for their children as they raced their box cars around the playground. Halfway through the race each child had to stop at the Pit Stop, fuel up with a drink of water and wipe the bugs off of their sunglasses. Trophies all around for all of our wonderful racers!

WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH Redding Rancheria Head Start & Child Care

The Redding Rancheria holds in its highest regard Tribal Elders, especially the 17 Tribal Elders who we call our original distributees. Especially during Women’s History Month, it is wonderful to recognize that 14 of the 17 original distributees were women. We are so proud of these women who helped pave the path for all of us. We say #proudtoplayourpart because they played their part for us. Our hands go up to each and every one of them!
