Alaska Head Start is taking its hat off to Peter Pan Seafoods and Bristol Bay fishermen this week at a special ceremony on Wednesday in Juneau. The seafood company will be recognized as the top Corporate Sponsor by the state Head Start Association for the role it has played in providing local salmon to children and elders throughout Southwest Alaska.
“Head Start is not an easy program to run and this has been such a success,” said regional director Anne Shade, who nominated Peter Pan for the honor. “This annual award is one way we can really stand up and recognize the folks who go way above and beyond in Alaska for Head Start.”
The “salmon to schools” program was spearheaded four years ago in Dillingham by school lunch director Patty Luckhurst, now retired after 21 years with the district.
