Crayon Box Tours
Published November 8, 2010
We offer free, one-hour tours of our program to increase community awareness about Head Start of Shawnee Mission. Visitors will get to see our terrific kids getting off the bus, ready to greet their day, and see what they eat for breakfast (family style … it’s educational entertainment!). You’ll learn about our programs and the comprehensive services we offer our children and their families. These tours have been very successful in spreading the word about what we’re doing over here at 8155 Santa Fe Drive. Since starting the Crayon Box Tours in 2007, over 734 people have walked our halls, heard our story and met our kids. Our hope is that those who visit us will share what they’ve learned on the tour with friends and colleagues. You never know when someone might need our services.
To schedule a tour, please contact Renee Miller rmiller@smks-headstart.org. We hope to see you!
