Voices for Children Advocacy Day...
Voices for Children Advocacy Day is Tomorrow! Join 1,000 supporters at the Minnesota State Capitol on March 29th.
Thursday, March 29, 2007 @ 10:00am Minnesota State Capitol
Voices for Children Advocacy Day is an opportunity for parents, teachers, early care and education professionals, and others from across the state to stand up and be counted as a voice for children. The Voices Day rally will include songs and stories from Jack Pearson (http://www.jackpearson.org/), starting at 10 AM in the Capitol Rotunda. There will also be a garden for children to place the paper flowers they've made and fun child-centered activities in the Family Room (#118), starting at 9:30. Come, have fun, and raise your voice for children.
This year's theme: Plant the Seeds - Help Children Bloom
There is still time to participate... Visit the website and see how you can participate. I especially like the cheer...
"I don't know, but I've been told,
Children learn before five years old.
Kids are learning every day,
Counting, colors, and lots of play.
Kids need families, yes they do,
They need child care and teachers too.
Legislators have a heart,
Kids deserve a better start.
It's the most important time.
To not invest, now that's a crime.
Kids are our priority.
One strong voice for you and me!"
