Hundreds of students, parents, teachers, and community leaders gathered at the Rhode Island State House Jan. 26 for a rally to celebrate School Choice Week in Rhode Island and show support for increased educational opportunity.

Students and teachers from many schools enjoyed an afternoon of student performances, including dance, choir, and musical groups. Members of the Providence Hebrew Day School music program performed.

The event was organized by Rhode Island Families for School Choice, which includes Catholic, Protestant, Islamic, Jewish, independent, and charter schools, as well as homeschoolers.
