Letter: Smart Start has gone above and beyond

To the Editor:

 I wanted to send a letter to share my experience with Smart Start in Hoke County during the pandemic. One of the many struggles of daycares and preschools trying to open back up is getting cleaning supplies as they are so hard to find to the pandemic. While I know all the Smart Start staff are working tirelessly there, I wanted to highlight Peggy Huggins as she has called every week and Jean Squire as she has personally dropped off sanitizer that we were unable to find. Smart Start has always worked hard for our county but has gone above and beyond during this time. I hope that the county officials remember their dedication as they are voting and dispersing COVID19 CARES act funding as well as local fundraising efforts for their cause as they are absolutely dedicated to Hoke county. Thank you Smart Start for supporting our county, children and providers.
