Education fair aims to help parents with school choice
Colorado Virtual Academy and PikesPeakParent.com, an online website run by The Gazette, are teaming to host an education fair Jan. 23.
The fair, which will feature K-12 schools in the Pikes Peak region, is intended to help parents find the best educational fit for their children and inform them about the types of schools available.
The free event will be from noon to 4 p.m at the Doubletree Hotel, 1775 East Cheyenne Mountain Blvd. Parking also is free.
Representatives from public, charter, private and online schools will be on hand to share information, along with education-related businesses and organizations such as Mathnasium and the Pikes Peak Library District.
"This education fair will make it easy and convenient for parents to select the right school for their child no matter what grade," said Brandy Vasquez, Gazette education marketing specialist. "There are even schools who cater to the creativity in each child from performing arts, computers, science and more. Once a child is in the right school, it will amaze you how quickly their confidence grows."
Fairgoers can enter to win prizes including a PikesPeakParent.com drawing for $500 in cash.
