Greater Lawrence Community Action Council Inc.

Happy Labor Day to all those who contribute to the American workforce. Today, we celebrate the dedication and tireless efforts of the workers who build and shape our communities. The GLCAC is closed today and will reopen Tuesday, Sept. 2.

Today we joined Representative Lori Trahan and advocates from throughout the Merrimack Valley to highlight the importance of community action agencies and our efforts to combat poverty. Thank you to Rep. Trahan for her continued support, Massachusetts Association for Community Action (MASSCAP) for its dedicated leadership, and Community Teamwork and Community Action, Inc. for your partnership and collective advocacy efforts. You can help by urging Congress to support the Community Services Block Grant program: www.masscap.org/takeaction. www.masscap.org/takeaction.

It's the process, not the product! When our Head Start children work with art media, there is no right or wrong way. Their focus is on different textures and colors, as well as cause and effect. As they create, they are building their social skills, language, and planning skills. Our Head Start children graduate ready for kindergarten!
