CHEYENNE – Students, parents, teachers, and community leaders will rally in Cheyenne to celebrate school choice on Friday, January 29.
The event, which will take place at 3 p.m. at the Laramie County Library, will feature representatives from all educational options – traditional public schools, public charter schools, magnet schools, private schools, and home education – who will share their school choice stories, according to a release from Ed Pref Wyoming.
The celebration coincides with National School Choice Week, which will be America’s largest-ever celebration of opportunity in education, with more than 16,000 events being planned.
“Wyoming has a lot to offer parents when it comes to educational options,” said Amy Threewitt of PublicSchoolOptions.org. “We want to make sure parents are aware of the opportunities they have to make a change if their child is struggling. We celebrate that opportunity and the difference that the right school can make in a student’s life during National School Choice Week.”
“No matter what type of school a parent chooses for their child, we celebrate their ability to do so,” said Meredith Adams of Ed Pref Wyoming. “We are excited to join the thousands of events going on around the country this week to raise awareness about the difference school choice is making in students’ lives.”
The event is being planned by several organizations, including Ed Pref Wyoming, Institute for Justice, and PublicSchoolOptions.org.
