Nevada school children march for national ‘School Choice Week’ in front of Carson City Capitol
This week kicks off “School Choice Week,” an annual awareness movement that supports parents and children being able to choose their own schooling options, and Nevada students came out to support the cause by marching in front of the Capitol building in Carson City Tuesday morning.
According to National School Choice Week’s website:
“These celebratory events raise public awareness of the different K-12 education options available to children and families while also spotlighting the benefits of school choice. NSCW recognizes all K-12 options, including traditional public schools, public charter schools, public magnet schools, private schools, online academies, and homeschooling.”
According to the event page for the capital march, schools are encouraged to use the march as a lesson in civic engagement, speaking with law makers, touring the Capitol, and learning about Nevada’s history.
