Starke United Fund’s Kindergarten Countdown received a grant to expand the program to all Starke County schools.
This summer, Knox, Oregon-Davis and North Judson-San Pierre will begin to prepare children that did not receive a preschool education for kindergarten. Students will learn school routines and learn to be comfortable in a school setting. With the grant money, students will also be able to take books home to build their home library.
Knox’s program will take place in June, North Judson-San Pierre in July and Oregon-Davis will host the program towards the end of the summer.
