JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Charter Schools USA is teaming up with the Jacksonville Icemen to host a free Community Celebration event on Saturday, April 11, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

This event will highlight the work taking place across CSUSA schools, giving families a closer look at student learning, innovation, and school achievements through interactive exhibits.

“We just want to make sure it’s a very fun, family friendly environment so that parents can actually learn as much as they can so that they can just feel comfortable with whatever decisions they make for their kids’ future, because again, at the end of the day it’s what’s best for kids. If you come there and you say, hey, this is what’s right for our kid, great. If it’s not, at the end of the day you’ve advocated for your kid and that’s what’s most important,” said Eric Schill, Director of School Support for Charter School USA.

Attendees can enjoy a full day of free activities for all ages, including bounce houses, face painting, food, skating, and more.

WHERE: Community First Igloo | 3605 Philips Hwy, Jacksonville, FL

WHEN: Saturday, April 11

TIME: 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
