BOSTON, Jan. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Students from a wide variety of Boston area schools will perform poetry and music in multiple languages at the Capitol building to celebrate National School Choice Week, at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 22.

"The Martin Luther King, Jr. Charter School of Excellence is excited to be a part of the first celebration of school choice at the Massachusetts State House," said Calvin J. McFadden, Sr., executive director at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Charter School of Excellence.

Our school is just one of the many schools that partner with parents in ensuring they make the best possible choice for their children's education."
