Mark these dates in your calendar this month to discuss the importance of oral health in Yazoo City, Belzoni, and Lexington! Our first event is this Wednesday, February 12th from 12:00-1:00pm at the B.S. Ricks Memorial Library in Yazoo City.

DHAs Delta Healthy Start Collaborative team will share with attendees how oral health doesnt just impact your teeth and mouth. Oral health is the gateway to our bodies. Poor oral health care can make daily activities more difficult, lead to self esteem issues and mental health struggles, and contribute to systemic, long-term diseases elsewhere in our bodies.

Check out the flyer for more details and we hope to see you there!

New data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) shows Mississippi posted the highest gains in fourth grade reading scores in the nation in 2024! DHA is proud to work with Delta schools and students through programs like Literacy Fellows in our Promise Communities to improve student reading achievements that contribute to this success. For example, our data shows that first attempt passage rates on the third grade reading exam in Leflore County schools with DHAs Literacy Fellows program have increased substantially since the Leflore Promise Community began, helping to set students up for success on the fourth grade NAEP assessment a year later.

The state also recorded the highest ever percentage of students scoring proficient or advanced in fourth grade reading, fourth grade math, eighth grade reading, and eight grade math. This is a testament to the hard work of teachers, parents, students, and educational organizations across the state to improve the academic success and future opportunities for children in Mississippi.

Children need to read to build their vocabulary, critical thinking skills, cognitive development / skills, communication skills, literary skills, focus, concentration, language and empathy skills and creativity

Victoria Turberville

We love our books! Is there a list of books for 2024? I don’t believe that we received all of the books for the year. We are appreciative but I just wanted to see which ones we missed. We have not received a book for November nor December yet. He was born in 2022.
