Upcoming Rhode Island School Fair: An Education Hub for Families

On Saturday, January 24, parents in Providence will have an exciting opportunity to explore a plethora of educational options for their children at the Rhode Island School Fair. This event aims to bring together families and representatives from over 30 public, charter, and private schools, all in one convenient location.

Taking place at the Crowne Plaza in Warwick, the fair will kick off at 10:00 AM and continue until 1:00 PM in the Grand Ballroom. Attendees can expect to receive valuable information about different schooling options, allowing them to make informed decisions about their children's education.

The event is organized by the Rhode Island Families for School Choice and is timed to coincide with National School Choice Week, which runs from January 25 to 31. This initiative is designed to raise awareness about the various educational choices available to families while empowering parents to find the most suitable learning environment for their kids.

Niyoka Powell, Coalition Chair of Rhode Island Families for School Choice, emphasized the importance of this fair, stating that it provides a unique platform for community engagement. “The most exciting thing about the School Choice Fair is the combination of different types of schools and the necessary resources coming together under one roof. This kind of exposure helps families evaluate the value of the schools we invest in for our children and to celebrate choice.”

In addition to gathering information about schools, the fair will feature various family-friendly activities such as balloon art and face painting, along with complimentary snacks. This ensures that even the younger attendees will have a delightful experience while parents delve into discussions about educational pathways.

National School Choice Week, which includes over 28,000 events across the United States, aims to highlight diverse educational options and help families navigate the landscape of schooling effectively. The initiative is nonpolitical and does not advocate for or against legislation, focusing solely on informing and supporting families.
