Dear All-Stars,
We were thrilled to get to meet some of you last week! Face-to-face interaction is meaningful for us, just like it is for your Members of Congress. If you were unable to attend, we hope to see you at our Parent Training Conference in New Orleans (Dec. 9-13) or at our Winter Leadership Institute in Washington, D.C. (Jan. 23-26). We’ll be holding special All-Stars events at both conferences.
In the meantime, our Keep the Window Open campaign is underway! You can watch the original Window of Opportunity animation and response videos as they go up at www.KeeptheWindowOpen.org. We’ve had some Members of Congress paying attention to our campaign already, and we need your help to sustain and build momentum. A few weeks ago you received instructions about how to make Keep the Window Open response videos with your families and staff members. It’s time to start posting! If you have any questions or would like additional help, contact Emmalie Dropkin at

. We also encourage you to follow us on twitter (@HeadStartWindow) and on facebook and to repost Keep the Window Open content to your own accounts if you have them. This project is critical to helping frame Head Start for the country and to our long-term outreach to Congress. We appreciate your taking the time to participate.
In conjunction with the Window campaign, we’ve created a petition to the White House asking the President to champion investment in Head Start. Please sign and pass it on!
Our next call is scheduled for Friday, October 21st at noon EST. We’ll be discussing some of the topics you all identified as meaningful on our needs assessment. I look forward to speaking with you then!
Warmly,
Yasmina Vinci
