Head Start Class of 2024 Makes the
Leap to Kindergarten Congratulations to the amazing children from the Head Start programs in New Orleans, who have officially moved on to kindergarten!
The "Rocking into Kindergarten" ceremonies were a wonderful celebration of their achievements, and we are so proud of each and every one of them. It was heartwarming to see them walk across the stage of Schulte Auditorium at Notre Dame Seminary, with words of encouragement from Rhonda Taylor, Head Start Program Director; Sr. Marjorie Hebert, CCANO CEO & President; and Deacon Martin Gutierrez, VP of Mission & Community Engagement.
Head Start is such an important program that supports the development of children from birth to 5 years old, including those with disabilities - and these kids are shining examples of its success! Your hard work has paid off, little ones - we can't wait to see all that you will achieve in kindergarten and beyond!

Project SAVE's Vicky Gordy retires after
20 years at Catholic Charities Vicky Gordy, Project Manager with Project SAVE, retired last month after more than 25 years with the program.
As Vicki looks forward to her retirement, she's excited to spend summers watching her 3-year-old granddaughter and working on two writing projects. Stay tuned for a study guide to accompany her book, "A Heart for God: Loving God with Your Whole Heart," and a brand new children's book!
Plus, she'll continue to lend a helping hand with Project SAVE as an occasional volunteer.
Congratulations to Vicki on this exciting new chapter of her life!
