Santa Ana School Fair - A Hub for Educational Choices
The upcoming
Santa Ana School Fair on January 31 aims to give parents in Orange County a comprehensive overview of the numerous educational institutions available for their children. This event, organized by
La Union de Padres in partnership with the
National School Choice Awareness Foundation, will take place at the
Santa Ana College, welcoming families from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Over
30 schools, including district schools, charter schools, and private institutions, will have representatives present to answer questions and discuss educational options.
The timing of the fair coincides with
National School Choice Week, a nationwide initiative running from January 25 to 31, during which
28,000 events are organized across the United States. This week is dedicated to raising awareness about the various educational pathways available to families and emphasizing the importance of parents being informed advocates for their children's education.
Cecilia 'Ceci' Iglesias, founder of La Union de Padres, expressed the importance of the fair: "School choice is about giving parents access to the best TK-12 education options for their children in California. This fair serves as a crucial platform for school representatives to interact directly with families, allowing them to see all available options and feel empowered to make informed decisions."
In addition to exploring educational avenues, attendees can expect a family-friendly atmosphere featuring activities such as
balloon art,
face painting, and complimentary snacks, making it an engaging experience for children and adults alike.
The
National School Choice Awareness Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping parents find K-12 educational opportunities that best meet their children's needs. Their initiatives, including National School Choice Week and various outreach programs, empower families to navigate the educational landscape effectively.
For parents looking to explore their options, the
Santa Ana School Fair is an invaluable opportunity to connect with local schools and gain insights into the various educational philosophies and curricula available. It's not just about finding a school; it's about creating an enriching environment that caters to each child's unique learning style and needs.
