Gateway Community Action Partnership’s Head Start program will join Head Start programs nationwide in celebrating the 50th anniversary of the program on Monday, May 18 by planting rose bushes.
The significance of Gateway’s Head Start program planting rose bushes is that former President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Head Start Act on May 18, 1965 in the Rose Garden at the White House.
Gateway Head Start children and staff will be planting rose bushes at the River’s Edge Community Campus, 110 Cohansey St., Bridgeton and at the John O. Wilson Hamilton 1 Head Start Center, 169 Wilfred Ave., Hamilton. Both planting events will take place at 10 a.m.
