Mike Knows Our Schools Because He's In Our Schools

Mike visited Lewis and Clark preschool in Council Bluffs on February 4 and saw first-hand the marvelous learning taking place for our 3- and 4-year-olds who have quality teachers. In the Legislature, it's too easy to view education in terms of dollars, numbers and percentages, but that's not what it's all about. Our policies affect real children with names and lives. At Lewis and Clark, Superintendent Martha Bruckner welcomed me into the classroom, where 4-year-old Bryce Lee showed him a book about animals. I was impressed when he explained the chameleon's camouflage to me. Education is an investment in our future, and Mike vows to fight for funding for our quality preschools.

Mike read a book with 4-year-old Bryce Lee at Lewis and Clark Preschool in Council Bluffs on February 4. The kids at Lewis and Clark are learning skills that will prepare them for educational success throughout their lives. We can’t afford to NOT invest in their future.
