Head Start for a New Life

Head Start for a New Life:

The first day of school can be scary for any child. For a political refugee new to a land where everyone speaks and dresses differently, the first day can be downright terrifying. San Antonio’s Family Service Association made a special effort this year to enroll as many 3- and 4-year-old refugee children as possible in federally-funded Head Start pre-kindergarten classes. Children from nearly 60 families are attending classes at the Culebra Head Start Satellite Site. Express-News Education Editor Jenny LaCoste-Caputo and photographer Lisa Krantz will be following the children throughout the school year to document their progress.
