Two Early Childhood Connections staff members have been honored with Kansas Head Start awards.
Donna Hudson-Hamilton, Early Childhood Connections director, was recently awarded the Kansas Children's Champion Award.
"The impact she has made on the tiny kiddos, their families and the entire Head Start program is remarkable. Hays 489 is so grateful to have her as a leader within our district," the district said in a Facebook post.
Hudson-Hamilton will be retiring at the end of this school year.
Sharon Beougher, Early Childhood Connections education coordinator, was named the Support Staff of the Year.
