The Second Annual Education Expo
Sunday, February 19, 2006 at the Northway Mall.

The 2nd Annual Education Expo held Sunday, February 19, 2006, at the Northway Mall was a huge success.  Over 25 local schools and businesses had an opportunity to showcase their institutions and expertise to several hundred visitors interested in educational opportunities within our community. 

State Senator Jane Orie spoke about the importance of the Expo and recognized Northern Connection Magazine and the Northway Mall for acknowledging the significance of education, and promoting the many excellent learning resources available to the children in our community.

Orie said, "The Education Expo promotes an environment of making choices which is something that leads to personal responsibility…by making a choice among the different schools present here, the students are demonstrating personal responsibility and commitment to their own educational growth."

"All parents want the best education for their children." Orie continued. "It is a rare event in which families are presented in one place with school options that allow them to find a program which best serves the needs of their children.  Both the parents and children present at the Education Expo here will find the perfect match among the many schools and activities present from across the North Hills."

Orie noted, "It is a pleasure to be able to participate in this great event and to partner with Northern Connection Magazine to enhance the education of our youth."

Hundreds of visitors to the Education Expo were not only informed about the opportunities available from the vendors, but were also entertained by schools bands, choirs, and cheerleaders from some of the participating schools at the Expo.
