BY ROSE TURNER The new school year has begun, and both children and adults are getting back into regular routines. Louise Sanders, Children's and Outreach Librarian at the Mauney Library, is planning a new series of programs which will involve all ages in both in house sessions and outreach. Through these programs, we expect to meet the needs of a larger percentage of the population, and to reach people who do not normally use the library. To begin the year, the Mauney Library is planning to participate in Literacy Day observance at the Cleveland Mall on Saturday, September 8, from 12:00 noon to . 5:00 p.m. Booths will be set up in the stage area and library services and programs will be highlighted. Mrs. Sanders and some of her teen Head Start Program Is Reorganized The Cleveland County Head Start program was congratulated by the Vice President of Assessment Technology Incorporated (ATI) in Tucson, Arizona for substantial accom- plishments this past year in pro- moting children's social and cogni- tive development and in preparing children for success when they en- ter kindergarten. The spring assess- ment results of the Head Start Measurement Battery (HSMB) show that the majority of children in the program achieved significant educational growth in language, math, nature and science, percep- tion, reading, and social develop- ment. The gains made by the chil- dren indicated that the children learned many intermediate and ad- vanced level skills and concepts in each of these areas of develop- ment. The acquisition of these skills and concepts signifies that the children will have a strong foundation of knowledge that will help them to excel in kindergarten. ATT's transition research with the Ford Foundation and ADministration for Children, Youth, and Families has shown that children whose teachers use the ed- ucational planning system effec- tively are more likely to be pro- moted to the first grade and less likely to be inappropriately and prematurely placed in special edu- cation. For example, last year's re- search indicated that 1 in 5 chil- dren are placed in special education by the end of kinder- garten. In classrooms where the system is used, only 1 in 71 chil- dren are place din special educa- tion. As a result of using the educa- tional planning system , the Cleveland County Head Start pro- gram has been able to document its program effectiveness in promot- ing children's development and in preparing them to successfully meet the challenges that await them when they enter school. The average gains made by the children in eight Head Start class- rooms this past year indicates ex- cellent educational growth. The greatest gains were in the math area indicating superior education- al growth. The gain indicates the amount of growth that the children accomplished from fall assessment to spring assessment. The local program congratulated Julia Hughes and Mattie Wells, teacher and assistant at Marion School for achieving the highest overall gains program wide. The average gains made by the Head Start students at Marion School in- dicate superior educational growth. Head Start To Be Taped The Cleveland County Head Start Program will once again be taped for the "Good Morning, America" opener to be aired as a part of Head Start Awareness Month on Tuesday , October 23, at 7:30 a.m. The originally scheduled opener was cancelled due to wind noise in the tape.

Regular programing for the school year will begin in September. Thursday afternoons are reserved for in-house story times beginning at 3:00 p.m. with a school age program. Regular pro- graming for school age children throughout the year is a new devel- opment at the Mauney Library. However, this group responded so well during the Summer Reading Club and it is felt that there is a definite need to continue a library sponsored program for the elemen- tary school children. Many of these children do not participate in sports, dance lessons, music, or other extra curricular activities, but hey need a place to go and some- thing special to do. We feel that the library can help fill this need, and in fulfilling a social need, we can also stimulate interest in books and reading. The first session will be held on Thursday, October 13. The preschoolers will meet at 3:45 on Thursday afternoons, fol- lowing the school age program. Because so many parents work and are unable to bring their preschool- ers to a morning program, we de- cided to experiment with an after- noon program. Both the preschool story hour and the school age tory hour will be held weekly through- out the year. Outreach programs for children will continue at Bolin Day Care, Lynwood Day Care, Trinity PreSchool, Sit. Matthews Preschool, and Oak Grove Preschool. Mrs. Sanders will visit these centers once a month with a story hour. She will also leave books with them for use through- out the month, New outreach programs will be added for the school children.
