Champions for

Charter School Equality

Advocacy Day for Bronx Charter Schools

At 6:45 a.m. on a cold winter morning, 36 LION community members, including parents, staff, and students, boarded a charter bus bound for Albany, NY. The group represented our school, demonstrating both their LION and Bronx pride, at Bronx Charter School Celebration Day on January 31st. This annual Advocacy Day provides members of the community a chance to speak to our representatives, delineate the changes we seek, and fight for equality as a charter school.
