Great Start recognizes the importance of community involvement and the value of opportunities for families to learn and grow together. We have created these community calendars as a way to share timely community events with you. If you know of any events please take time to add them to our community calendar or forward the information to gsevents@dsisd.net. Please encourage the agencies and organizations that you partner with to do so as well so we can have a comprehensive one stop shop for early childhood information in our communities.
Please note that there are guidelines for submissions and each will be reviewed before posting

If you're not familiar with The H.O.P.E. Project FREE Store, we are a thrift store of sorts, but instead of charging by the item, we charge just $2.00 per adult & $1.00 per child to enter. Once you pay to enter, everything inside is absolutely FREE! Take one item or trash bags full, it's up to you! Everyone is welcome to shop! There are no income or residential requirements! Customers may donate/shop once per day!
