Miles Ahead Rally 2015

Briya families advocate for high-quality early education

Some of Briya’s smallest students stepped up to advocate for the importance of their education this fall.

Briya preK students and their parents gathered on the grounds of the US Capitol to raise awareness of the benefits of early education during the Miles Ahead for Early Learning rally.

Children had a blast running in a relay race to remind policymakers that children get miles ahead when they have high-quality early learning opportunities. US senators, representatives and education leaders then spoke about the value of investing in early education and childcare for all children.

The rally was organized by Moms Rising, an organization that advocates for issues facing mothers and families nationwide.
