Children’s Defense Fund-Ohio is hosting Celebration of Joy 2025: Unleashing the Power of Public Education to Build a Beloved Community. This year we will be celebrating the power of public education as a public good to build a free and fair society for everyone. Building upon the success of last year’s event, this year’s theme will highlight our gratitude for the foundation laid by past and present educators and education support teams that equip and support our scholars to be successful. We will restate our commitment to support a thriving public education system for future generations to grow up with dignity, hope, and joy. We are also thrilled to celebrate our esteemed 2025 Advocates for Joy and Halperin Youth award honorees, along with our recent former Advisory Council members.
