Join us in supporting public education on National Support Public Education Day - learn how you can get involved and make a difference!
July 30 will be a special day this year – National Support Public Education Day! This day was created to recognize and celebrate the importance of public education in our society. It's also an opportunity to pay tribute to all the hardworking teachers, administrators, and staff who work incredibly hard every day to give their students the best educational experience possible. Whether you're a student, a parent, or just someone who cares about education, this is a great day to show your support for public schools and the amazing people who make them run. Let's make sure we use this day to spread positivity and appreciation towards our educators!
Join your local PTA or volunteer in the classroom. You can help out in a variety of ways, from helping teachers manage the classroom to leading extracurricular activities.
Donating money is a great way to show your support for public education. You can give to a specific school or to a broader organization that supports public schools in your area.
Check out what's happening at your local school. Whether it's a sporting event, a play, or an open house, attending school events is an easy way to show your support for public education.
Take the time to write letters and emails to local and state legislators, asking them to support public education and allocate more funds for schools.
Organize a fundraiser in your community and donate the proceeds to your local school. It could be as simple as a bake sale or as elaborate as a gala dinner.
Public education gives children who might not have the financial resources or access to quality private schools the opportunity to receive a quality education. This helps break down barriers of socio-economic status and puts kids on a level playing field for success in life.
Providing public funding for all public schools helps ensure that all students, regardless of socio economic background, ethnicity or religion, have access to educational materials like books, technology and teaching supplies. This creates more equitable learning environments that can help promote diversity among students.
By supporting public education, we can strengthen our local communities. Studies show that when well-funded school districts provide strong educational opportunities, they attract more businesses and residents. This can help reduce crime rates and spur economic growth in cities across the nation!
