Families will enjoy exploring different school choices with
booths for parents and kid-friendly options, such as face painting,
at a celebration timed to coincide with National School Choice
Week.
The event, planned for January 27 at 11:00 a.m., will feature
entertainment and educational stations for students and parents,
including information about school choice options. Speakers will
include House Speaker Richard Corcoran; Shawn Foster, as master of
ceremonies, Steve Hicks with McKay Coalition, Bill Cronin,
president of Pasco Economic Development Council, and parents whose
children are involved in school choice. More than 300 people are
expected to attend the event at the Santa Cruz Resurrection Church
(11173 Griffing Blvd Biscayne Park Florida 33161).
The goal of the event is to raise awareness about school choice
in the community and provide a day of fun for families. The
celebration is timed to coincide with National School Choice Week
(January 21-27, 2018), which will feature more than 32,000 events
across the country.
“The LIBRE Institute believes that a quality education is key to
achieving the American Dream. School choice empowers families to
access the education that is right for them regardless of their zip
code or socio-economic status,” said Ivette Diaz of the Libre
Foundation. “Education freedom opens doors of opportunity for all
students, but especially benefits low-income students who otherwise
are not able to access the quality education they deserve.”
Event planners include Americans for Prosperity and Libre
Institute.
Held every January, National School Choice Week is an
independent public awareness effort designed to shine a positive
spotlight on effective education options for every child. Through
more than 32,000 independently planned events across the country,
National School Choice Week raises public awareness of all types of
educational choices available to children. These options include
traditional public schools, public charter schools, public magnet
schools, online learning, private schools, and homeschooling.
