Grants available for On My Way Pre-K 
Do you know a child that needs access to pre-kindergarten but his or her family doesn't have the means?

There's a program to help. On My Way Pre-K awards grants to 4-year-olds from low-income families so that they may have access to high-quality preschool. To qualify, a child must be 4 by August 1, 2018, parents must be working or in school, and families must be eligible for low-income assistance.

To apply, visit www.onmywayprek.org or call Kim Gordon for more information 765-480-5135.
The program is taking applications until August and is hoping to award 100 kids in Howard County with grants.
