In the Spotlight

Head Start Body Start Physical Activity Consultant, Terri Braun, has had two amazing visits with her two assigned Head Start Grantees. O'Farril Learning Center and Walker Elementary are both hungry for information and activity ideas for all their new equipment they purchased with the funds they were awarded from one of the Head Start Body Start Playspace Grants. Terri has given the centers a new burst of energy, even with their limited space the children had a great time playing outdoors. Obstacle courses, pool noodle baseball and ball throwing and catching were some of the highlights from her visits.

Enjoy the amazing action photos she was able to capture while at the center.
