This event is planned to coincide with the history-making celebration of National School Choice Week 2020, which will feature more than 50,000 school choice events across all 50 states.
"In Florida, families have multiple school choice options to choose from, whether it is a public school option, private school option, virtual option or homeschooling," said Wendy Howard, outreach manager for Celebrate Youth. "What we have found is that in our community, is that not everyone is aware of the options available to their family or how to access those options. Our community-based event brings together local businesses and services that help families and gives schools the opportunity to showcase what they have to offer in a family festival type event."
This event is brought to the community by Celebrate Youth, a non-profit organization created to educate families in our community on all educational options available to their children. Celebrate Youth is run by all volunteers that want to see every child succeed.
As a nonpartisan, nonpolitical public awareness effort, National School Choice Week shines a positive spotlight on effective education options for students, families, and communities around the country. From January 26 through February 1, 2020, more than 50,000 independently-planned events will be held in celebration of the Week. For more information, visit www.schoolchoiceweek.com.
