We the communities in Raymond and Epping are petitioning to save our head starts. We feel that if they close them down, the children that have to come back another year are going to have no where to go. The 2 centers have been open for 20+ years and they have been a great place for low income people to have their children go to get an education and help them get ready for kindergarden. It will be a devestating if the parents of these children have to either travel far from home or don't have the funds to send their children to other facilities. These two centers have been integral part of the community for the past 20+ years. We the under signed feel that the two centers should remain open.
