PRESQUE ISLE – The Aroostook County Action Program has received a grant to promote a fatherhood initiative titled “Good Guys” in Head Start centers throughout The County.

The program, funded by Maine Children’s Trust, encourages fathers or other male role models of Head Start students to act as guest speakers in classrooms.

According to Sue Powers, Child and Family Services director, the program establishes an important male role-model concept within children. “Good Guys” began in November and will continue throughout the school year.
