National School Choice Week, the yearly event highlighting the importance of parents' right to choose the best educational environment s for their children, kicked off on Sunday and Glendale's Salem Lutheran School will be one of thousands of schools and grassroots organizations across the nation holding events in support.

From Jan. 27 through February 2 groups in 50 states will hold events – from rallies and celebrations to public discussions – all centering on the idea of choice in education.

This year's National School Choice Week coincides with the 65th anniversary of Salem Lutheran School.

On Wednesday, January 30, students, parents and staff at Salem Lutheran will don symbolic yellow scarves to celebrate school choice and commemorate the school's 65th anniversary with a day of events beginning with a student-involved chapel service and presentation of the school's last big anniversary of 60 years. Following the service, the school will showcase student work related to National School Choice Week and will host activities and vendors.

“National School Choice Week truly underlines how important it is for parents to be able to entrust their children to schools like ours—a place where children are trained academically, spiritually, physically, and socially in a way that honors Christ,” said Ghada Huleis, principal at Salem Lutheran. “Salem Lutheran School has been nurturing the full potential of each of our students for more than six decades.”
