The community is invited to learn more about St. Mary’s Catholic School at an event timed with National School Choice Week 2017 – the nation’s largest-ever celebration of educational opportunity. The event will have cake and drinks, student testimonials, an address from Deacon Vernon Doblemann, and a DJ and student dancing.

The event begins at 2 p.m. on Thursday, January 26 at the school located at 2200 O’Neil Avenue in Cheyenne.

St. Mary’s Catholic School serves 191 students in grades PreK to 8.

The goal of the event is to celebrate great education choices in Wyoming and raise awareness among parents about school choice. The celebration is timed to coincide with National School Choice Week (January 22-28, 2017), which will feature more than 21,000 events across the country.

“St. Mary’s Catholic School loves participating in National School Choice Week because we really think choices in education are important in our community, country, and the lives of children," said Patrick Lane, Principal.

Held every January, National School Choice Week is an independent public awareness effort designed to shine a positive spotlight on effective education options for every child. Through more than 21,000 independently planned events across the country, National School Choice Week raises public awareness of all types of educational choices available to children. These options include traditional public schools, public charter schools, public magnet schools, online learning, private schools, and homeschooling.
