Michele Andringa is the director of Head Start in Cass and Beltrami counties with programs from Kelliher to Pillager and from Bemidji to Walker and more. When the governor closed schools in March, Head Start faced the challenge of eight days of planning to change their classroom and home visit programs from in-person to distance-learning. Now, starting Monday, July 13th, Head Start is putting kids and staff face-to-face again as they continue to offer children and families a head start on kindergarten and life.
