The fire truck came to GOCAA Headstart in Ontonagon on Wednesday to celebrate fire week. The kids all got to sit in it, try on gear and spray the hose! Thank you so much Melvin Majurin and Donny Miles for bringing the truck!

GOCAA Headstart participated in “mobile dentist” day on September 14th at our Ironwood and Bessemer sites. Children were seen by Doctor Kennedy and her fantastic crew and were able to receive X-rays, cleanings, fillings and/or sealants as needed. The kids were rockstars and did so well.
