Educational event targets families of migrants Migrant workers who are looking to jump start their children�s educations are invited to an afternoon of fun Saturday presented by the Oregon Child Development Coalition. From 3:30 to 6 p.m. Saturday, area migrant families can participate in educational games and activities and enjoy a barbecue lunch at the Fichtner-Mainwaring Park off Stewart Avenue near Jefferson Elementary School. Families also will be able to learn about two day-care programs offered by Head Start of Southern Oregon. Between August and September, Head Start will provide free health care, education and social services to children under 7 whose parents work in the local agricultural industry. Children in the program are placed with in-home Hispanic day-care providers at least four hours a day. To be eligible, one or both parents must be considered migrant workers. For more information, call 770-5893.   Obituaries | Sports | Business | Classifieds |  Tempo | Prime Times | So Oregon Sites | Outdoor Journal | Subscribe | Contact | Movies | Advertise | Real Estate Showcase | Archive  | Editorials | Letters to the editor | Religion | Wake-up Call | NIE | Cyber Chef | Job Network | So Oregon Weather | WSJ Northwest | Forums | AP Wire | AP Money | F.A.Q. | Awards Ottaway Newspapers, Inc.
