2012 Star Power Saginaw Rocks!

Star Power! - We have 300 supporters of early childhood funding registered in Saginaw County.

The 2012 Great Start Services Tour and Luncheon May 14 at St. John Lutheran Church, 915 Federal in Saginaw, was part of the celebration. Thank you to the parent and advocate speakers, all the families and children from Kinder Kare who joined us and to staff and volunteers who helped decorate the room and make it all happen. We had a Star Power balloon launch and powerful messages about getting children ready for school and life! Our audience included school and community leaders, legislators and Great Start board members.

PARENTS! Let your voice be heard!

The Saginaw County Great Start Collaborative and Parent Coalition is asking for your input as parents/caregivers. Our Collaborative is currently updating its three-year Strategic Plan and would like to hear from a large group of parents as we move forward in this important work

This survey will help us gather information about how families are using resources. It also asks for you to choose three top issues facing families in Saginaw County.

There are multiple choice questions and room for further thoughts. Thank you for taking the time to be part of our FUTURE!
