The Delight Chapter Rural Community Alliance has become partners with the Delight CADC Headstart program to further education with the belief you are never too young to start a children’s reading program. The sixth graders at Delight Elementary have been reading to the children every week so RCA felt it was time for new books. The Headstart children were excited to receive these new books and their teachers have reading assignments for the children as young as three. Either the parents or grandparents will read to the children and they will start to recognize the words and they keep a count of how many books they take home and read. This is wonderful learning experience for the children, according to RCA Pike County members, who are pictured behind the students. District Court
