Rep. Harry Warren, of North Carolina’s 76th district, saw firsthand the impact of Muddy Sneakers while on an expedition in Stanly County’s Richfield Park.
“You can tell by the kids’ involvement here: they’re paying attention, they’re not wandering off, they’re learning,” Warren said. “I think that’s the ingredient you have to have. If you’re going to make a fiscal investment like this, you have to see there’s an educational return on it.”
