The Learning Tree of East Elgin, 845 Summit St., will hold a special event at 12:45 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 28, to celebrate National School Choice Week.

This event will feature a coloring contest with the students and a lunch to celebrate the teachers. The event will be held at the school.

The Learning Tree of East Elgin is a private school serving prekindergarten and kindergarten, with a student enrollment of 180.

Learning Tree Child Care is one of more than 9,000 schools participating in National School Choice Week Jan. 25-31. The goal of the Week is to shine a positive spotlight on all types of education options for children - from traditional public schools to public charter schools, magnet schools, private schools, online learning and home schooling.

"We are excited to have Learning Tree Child Care participate in National School Choice Week with this special event," said Andrew Campanella, National School Choice Week president. "It is because of great events like this that National School Choice Week, in Illinois and across the country, will break records as the largest and most influential celebration of educational opportunity in American history."
