“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.”
Rep. Warren said after speaking to Muddy Sneakers Executive Director Ryan Olson, he knew he wanted to see the process in person and explore the possibility of providing funding. Photo by Andie Foley / Salisbury Post
