Last week, Bloom staff had the great opportunity of volunteering for the 2024 Philly K–12 School Fair hosted by Elevate 215. The school fair is a great way for students and families to explore the educational landscape of the city and we were excited to see so many of our client-partners represented. Katy, Tony, and Rachel had a great time volunteering while Neil and his family attended the fair for their own exploration of Philly middle schools. If you know of a Philly student who is looking into options for the 2025-2026 school year, the School Selection Process is open through October 23rd, 2024: https://lnkd.in/en8WSuFF We look forward to seeing everyone in 2025!
