DENVER, Colo., Jan. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The West Steps of the Colorado State Capitol will become a stage for student voices as Parents United host a celebration of school choice on Tuesday, January 28, 2025, from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM. This free event will bring together more than 500 students, families, and educators from across Colorado to highlight the state's diverse educational options and the opportunities they provide to families.

The celebration, taking place from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM, will bring together students from various educational backgrounds to meet state leaders and share personal stories about the impact of school choice.
