Good morning, National
Good morning, National School Choice Week just ended on Saturday. But for me, the excitement of the week certainly hasn't worn off. Thanks to you, National School Choice Week 2016 shattered records. Here's just a look at the major numbers -- things that you helped accomplish: --- 16,745 events across America during NSCW 2016 --- 7,589 positive news stories developed about NSCW events, reaching 153 million Americans --- 33 governors and 240 mayors and county leaders issued proclamations --- 160 organizations and schools helped plan independent school choice celebrations at 20 state capitols --- The US Senate voted unanimously to designate Jan. 24-30 as National School Choice Week --- 39,900 tweets about #SchoolChoice, reaching 32 million people online --- Niagara Falls and the Great Wheel in Seattle illuminated in the NSCW signature colors of yellow and red --- More people searched for the term, "school choice," on Google than during any other time over the last seven years --- National School Choice Week 2016 was 111 times larger than NSCW in 2011 (our first year) To put it simply: WOW! And THANK YOU! What these numbers mean is that together, we helped raise unprecedented awareness about school choice, so that more parents discovered the options available to their children and all Americans had an opportunity to speak out in favor of greater opportunity in education. Thank you again for making National School Choice Week so extraordinary. And more importantly: thank you for all that you do for children and families in your community. Best, Andrew R. Campanella, President, National School Choice Week 20
