Whereas talented teachers and school leaders in each of these education 
 environments prepare children to achieve their dreams;
Whereas more families than ever before in the United States actively choose the 
 best education for their children;
Whereas more public awareness of the issue of parental choice in education can 
 inform additional families of the benefits of proactively choosing 
 challenging, motivating, and effective education environments for their 
 children;
Whereas the process by which parents choose schools for their children is 
 nonpolitical, nonpartisan, and deserves the utmost respect; and
Whereas tens of thousands of events are planned to celebrate the benefits of 
 educational choice during the 14th annual National School Choice Week, 
 held the week of January 26 through February 1, 2025: Now, therefore, be
