——— Wew>And Notes Raising Awareness About School Choice (NAPSA)—There’s good news for community organizations, groups and nonprofits that support school choice. They now have another way to raise awareness about the education options available to families. An effort called National School Choice Week will be held January 25-31, 2015. With more than 10,000 events planned, it will be the nation’s largest-ever education-related celebration. The goal is to shine a positive light on all types of education options available for children and families—including traditional public schools, public charter schools, magnet schools, online learning, private schools, and homeschooling. To take part, community groups can receive free meeting materials that can be used to educate others about the education choices available in their community. The materials include 24 yellow fleece scarves, posters, placards and other educational materials. They can be ordered at schoolchoiceweek.com/mymeeting. Shippingis alsofree. According to Andrew Campanella, president of National School Choice Week, school choice is a local issue with national importance. He said the goal of the Week is to make sure all parents know whatchoices they have when it comes to their child’s schooling. He added that groups interested in receiving materials should register online by January 12, and that supplies will be provided on a “first come, first served”basis.
