Last week, I had the opportunity to read to preschoolers at the Kids Learning Center and discuss the importance of early childhood education. I took a look at the proposed location for a children’s museum and toured the new Six and Kane building. Thank you to Mayor Brandy Schimp for taking me around town. It’s great to see continued growth and development in this community!
