Dozens of schools visited the Arizona Capitol building in celebration of National School Choice Week 2015, which is an opportunity to spotlight the need for effective education options for all children and takes place the last week in January.

Our very own Primavera Online High School Street Team attended the event and had the opportunity to hear Arizona Governor Doug Ducey speak about the importance of school choice and what some of his plans are for continuing the initiative here in our state.

Former WNBA superstar Lisa Leslie also spoke about her experiences going to school in inner-city Compton, CA as she grew up. Leslie expressed how much she values that parents and students have the ability to select the school that fits their needs best.

Peyton the Panther also made his rounds becoming the hit of the event after sneaking in a photo opportunity with the Governor and our school administration.

      

This was a great event and we feel privileged to have taken part in it. For more on National School Choice visit their website.
