January 26 - (host) Founders Classical Academy of Leander (featuring State Representative

“All of the activities we were involved in made the week exciting, and it just goes to show how involved families across the state have become in supporting the right to choose how and where their children are educated,” says ResponsiveEd’s Online Media Coordinator Berkeley Bryant. “We’re proud of our parents, teachers and students for the great support throughout the celebratory week and throughout the rest of the year as well.”

At the Houston rally, the ResponsiveEd team shared information about its 70 campuses, gave away wristbands, temporary tattoos, balloons and other items to hundreds of current and prospective students. The Houston event had an attendance of nearly 3,000 people who turned out to support school choice.
