Bambi visits the Kissee Mills Head Start Class

Bambi, along with Speck, visited the Kissee Mills Head Start children. Bambi entertained with a few of her up close and personal magic tricks while Speck made new friends. The following week the kids came to the Kirby VanBurch Theatre and saw Bambi and Kirby in their show. They also took a backstage tour.

Head Start programs are for children ages 3 & 4. Head Start provides all medical, dental, hearing, speech, mental health, etc. to these children free of charge. Head Start programs have to receive $7,000.00 in donations per month in order for the state to allow them to have the program. If they do not make their funds each month, the state does not give them the funds to buy the classroom supplies they need. These donations are not necessarily done in money, but also things that you can put a value on. For instance, for Bambi donating an hour of her time, the state will allow approximately $462.00 towards their donated funds.
