The Head Start Fish-a-thon in Coalgate, OK, was a huge success!

We were excited to have several classrooms attend this year’s event. I’m sure we will have more pictures added soon.

A big thank you to all the parents, teachers, staff, Game Wardens, local police, and local fire department for your support and hard work. Your efforts helped create a fun, safe, and memorable experience for all the kids.

We truly appreciate everyone who came out and made the day so enjoyable!

The Head Start Fish-a-Thon in Guymon was a huge success! 🎣

It was a day full of fun, laughter, and plenty of fishing. Smiles were everywhere as little anglers reeled in their catches and made unforgettable memories.

A special thank you to the Guymon Police Department, the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation Game Wardens, the Texas County Sheriff’s Department, and the Guymon Fire Department and EMS for their support and help in making this event safe and enjoyable for everyone.

Thank you to everyone who came out and made this event so special—we had an absolute blast!

Hennessey Head Start — This week, Mrs. Stacy's class read Guacamole and brought the story to life with a fun, hands-on cooking activity! 🥑

The children helped make fresh guacamole using avocados, lime juice, cilantro, and a dash of salt. They had a blast smashing the avocados and squeezing the limes—many agreed the limes were pretty sour! We even picked fresh cilantro leaves straight from our own plants.

After making the guacamole, the children sampled it with cucumbers, pretzels, cheese, and crackers. Most of them really enjoyed trying something new!

We also explored where our food comes from and how we can care for the Earth. The children learned that avocado pits and lime seeds can be replanted to grow new trees, and that avocado peels and cilantro stalks can be reused as compost in our garden.

It was a fun and meaningful experience that blended literacy, science, healthy eating, and sustainability.
