Parents can tell what remarkable changes they have seen in their children, and what it has meant to their own lives since their children started attending Head Start. We need to place names and faces on Head Start and let officials know how important Head Start is to the community, and how additional funding will help Head Start serve more children. With the emphasis that the president is placing on having children ready to read by the time they start kindergarten, it is important that we let congress know of the successes realized by Head Start in Michigan. Things to remember when writing letters Include your return address. Be sure to let the official know you are from their district.
Legislators pay closer attention to letters from their district than from outside.
Be concise and to the point. Tell your story in as few words as possible. Please try to stay under 2 pages typed or 4 handwritten. Check your spelling. If writing by hand, take time to make sure the letter can be read.
