Fannin County Head Start / Pre-K holds tree planting ceremony in recognition of Prevent Child Abuse Month

Fannin County Head Start / Pre-K in Mineral Bluff Georgia held a tree planting ceremony on April 20th in recognition of Prevent Child Abuse month.  The idea came from Bill Kendall, the school’s custodian, and the tree was a Dogwood.

It was a beautiful sunny day, the little children played in the spacious, fenced in area, all safe and sound, and watched intently as Georgia Speaker of the House David Ralston and Fannin County Sheriff Dane Kirby spoke regarding keeping our youth safe.  Diane Scoggins, CASA Director spoke to the crowd as well.

Following the speakers, Bill Kendall planted the Dogwood by the entrance to the school grounds while all the children and others in attendance watched.  Then the kids placed their flowers/pinwheels on the fence to recognize Prevent Child Abuse month.  Click here or more information on Fannin County Head Start / Pre-K     Click here for more information on Prevent Child Abuse
