A special thanks to the 53 children attending Salem Sloan Child Enrichment Center who traced and designed paper dolls in their likeness. These paper dolls will represent Alexander
County and be part of a display during the May legislative session in
Raleigh. This effort coordinated by MomsRising will call attention to the
importance of children’s issues and encourage legislators to Stand Up for
Early Learning. While the dolls may be two-dimensional, our children
aren’t. Well-rounded, quality care is important to the future of each
individual NC child. NC mothers and families support funding quality
early learning programs, and we encourage our legislators to ensure that these
important programs receive adequate funding in the budget. There
will be extensive media outreach on the day of the display to garner media
attention in Raleigh.
