The Sandbox Party is now in full swing, join us in building attendance for The Sandbox Party Convention. The convention is a one-of-a-kind event where individuals and organizations across the state with a vested interest in early childhood can come together and stand up for Michigan’s youngest learners. With just a few short weeks until Convention, we all need to spread the word and boost turnout so we can make a visible, strong statement to these newly elected officials.
