We’re excited about this incredible highlight of the early end of our Deer Creek Promise Community programs! Our programs that focus on the youngest learners help to improve kindergarten readiness and prepare students for a future of academic success. In fact, DCPC programs have contributed to the Leland School District ranking first in kindergarten readiness out of all school districts in Mississippi twice in the past five years. We’re incredibly proud of the work our DCPC staff and partner schools do to improve the lives of kids in our community.

Delta Health Alliance is an incredible organization that does life-changing work in communities that otherwise might not have opportunity for growth.
Creativity helps children to express how they may feel or view social concepts. Join us today for Work Together Wednesday during this Week of the Young Child and help your child develop math, science, and early literacy skills. Whether it’s building forts out of cardboard boxes or building Lego cities, children will learn the importance of team work and have fun.

CARES Mentoring at Edna M. Scott Elementary School in Leland recently held a "I am Lucky Because" activity in March. Mentors and mentees talked about things they were grateful for and decorated a shamrock using their creativity and writing skills. The activity gave mentees an opportunity to boost their creativity while also developing social skills.
