Caution: These Pictures May Inspire You!

When we unite for early childhood, we really unite. Last Friday, at Uniting for Early Childhood Day...

Children gathered...


Say, "Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese!"

They were curious about life...

"How does that work?"


They created feelings faces...

"My name is Taylor. I am feeling happy."

They read stories...

"I love me..."


They had their faces painted...

"I love it."


They won the goldfish guessing game...

Congratulations to Angela, Danielle, and Jackie Wescott!

 
And they saw legislators in action...
 
After getting her face painted, Representative Hawken (R-Fargo ) talks with Allison Mahoney of PCAND.

Senator Tim Mathern (D-Fargo) pauses after face paint.

Thanks to all the legislators who stopped -- with or without face paint!

 
At the end of the day, we were pretty sure the kids had almost as much fun as we did...

Ronya Hoblit and Karen Van Fossan, both of PCAND

Almost...!

We'd like to express our sincere gratitude to all who joined us, particularly First Lady Betsy Dalrymple, who wore a "Head Start Works" button and thanked each of us for our work.
 
When you have a chance, please let these early childhood organizations know how much you appreciate their presence in our world -- and at Uniting for Early Childhood Day!

May these inspiring photos strengthen you in your commitment to young children, their gifts, and their needs.
