In addition to the event at the Arizona State Board for Charter Schools, the Arizona Charter Schools Association and several school choice advocates and organizations are hosting events during the week to showcase the amazing opportunity school choice brings to Arizona?s students.

The event celebrated all types of school options, from Gilbert Public School?s honor guard, to homeschooled students leading the National Anthem, to Arizona School for the Art?s jazz band performing before and after the event.
