What is Headstart?

I wanted to tell a little bit about Headstart incase someone doesn't know.  Headstart is a program that is for 3 to 4 year olds.  It helps them to prepare for Kindergarten, and should there be a child that needs a little more help with numbers, colors, letters and so on, the class size is usually a little smaller so they can get the extra help that they might need.  It is such a good program and it is even better when there are teachers in there that REALLY care about the kids and wanting them to do well in school.  At our Headstart we have some really caring teachers and good volunteers.  Each child is given attention and that they know that they are cared for when they are there.  When me or Curtis goes in to help or to drop a surprise to them, they always run up and call us Aunt Jewel or Uncle Curtis, some say...your from The Dairy Freeze!  Or when Curtis' mom goes in they all call her Gammy Pat....  It just warms your heart to see them all running up to you and they are so excited to see you!  You can't help but love them! 

That is just a little bit about Headstart there are many wonderful things that they do there!  Support your local Headstart, by volunteering or donating materials that they may need.  Please go through the proper channels before you do, to find out what they might need.  It is very rewarding!

Just one project from Thanksgiving....love the raincoat!

An amazing day today!

For the last week or so we have been telling people to come in today (Saturday) that all sales of drinks will go to our Headstart to help fix the bathrooms.  Well in the course of the week just in the donation jug we have collected $230!  Today was have sold well over a 100 drinks!  Bringing the grand total to $500!  I was so happy to see people come out to help out our Headstart, at one point we had people waiting to sit down to eat!  So it was a very good day and a great day for our Headstart!  If you came out to show your support by buying a drink or just stopping in to put money in the jug....THANK YOU!!!!  I just can't wait to see what the bathrooms will look like!  I will post some pictures of the new bathrooms next weekend!  Again thank you for coming out to help these kids it was wonderful!

Now...just a little bit of housekeepping......  It has been said and asked if we are closing on January 1, 2012.  Yes, we are along with all other business' that are closed on that day too; for example City Hall, the pharmacy, the florist shop, the senior citizens center, my heart bakery and the bank.  And just like all those business' we will resume our normal hours on Tuesday January 2, 2012. 

If you should have any further questions about The Dairy Freeze please do not hesitate to ask me or Curtis we will be happy to answer any questions you might have.  Our phone number at The Dairy Freeze is 580-479-5240.

Helping out Head Start in Grandfield OK

The Head Start in Grandfield OK will be doing some much needed work on the kids bathrooms over the Christmas break. They need two toilets, two sinks, two faucets and maybe a few other fixins. To help them out, The Dairy Freeze will donate the amount of the total sales of drinks sold on Saturday December 10 to the Head Start.  Or if you would like to donate to the cause come by The Dairy Freeze and see Jewel or Curtis.  We are able to take Debit, Credit and Pay Pal.   If you would like to donate via PayPal  email is: fastwhitt@yahoo.com  This is a good cause and these kids really need new bathrooms! 
Hope to see you there!
