Dear St. James Families,
National School Choice Week will be celebrated January 23-29, 2022. School Choice Week is an effort to raise awareness of effective K–12 education options for children and shine a positive spotlight on all options.
As part of the celebration, Iowa Alliance for Choice in Education and the National School Choice Week organization are seeking parents and teachers to write Letters to Editor to be placed in newspapers during NSCW. Specifically, the organizations are seeking:
o A parent who lives in rural/small town Iowa who has/had children in both public and nonpublic settings
o A nonpublic schoolteacher with experience in both public and nonpublic schools
Authors will be assisted in writing and submitting a positive, short letter to their local paper. It is important that all Iowans know the importance of parental choice in education. You can be a valuable part in promoting that message and helping parents.
Those interested should contact Iowa ACE Executive Director, Trish Wilger, at 515-323-0687 or twilger@iowaace.org by January 14.
