Celebrating National Charter Schools Week
April 29-May 3, 2002

Planning Kit and CD Rom Slide Show Now Available

Attention all Charter Schools: 

The Center for Education Reform has created the National Charter Schools Week Planning Kit as a free resource for all charter schools. (When opening the file online in Adobe Acrobat Reader, please be patient as the document may take a few minutes to load.) The kit includes:

• Samples of charter promotional materials - bumper stickers, pencils, brochures and fact cards - and information on ordering more. Click here to order online.
• A guide to planning in the weeks leading up to National Charter School Week and a NCSW day-by-day calendar.
• A theme-based guide for your week-long celebration.
• A fact sheet on National Charter Schools Week
• Handouts and flyers that may be copied and distributed to parents, community visitors or members of the media. These handouts may be reproduced as long as they are copied in their entirety, with credit to CER.

• Also available: CER has created a  multi-media CD slide show highlighting charter school history, growth and achievements -- perfect for parent meetings, open houses, or community visits. The CD Rom Power Point presentation is available for $9.95 through our online order form or by calling 800-521-2118. An online version of this presentation (without audio or animated graphics) is available right here on the website. Click here to go to the web-based slide show.

CER has created this kit to help make planning for National Charter Schools Week a little easier for schools, to encourage widespread participation across the country and to help spread the word about charter school success, now ten years strong!

A few more things for Charter Schools to note: 

• CER's Newswire will be profiling charter school success stories during National Charter Schools Week. So send us your stories (just email cer@edreform.com), and sign up today to receive your copy of CER's Newswire, free, in your email box every week. 
• And if your school has a website that is not currently included in our links to over 700 charter school websites around the country, just submit your URL online, and we'll add it right away.

CER is committed to making this year's National Charter Schools Week the most successful ever. If we can be of any assistance to you, please don't hesitate to contact us at 800-521-2118 or cer@edreform.com. Best wishes for a successful National Charter Schools Week.
