Free fair to feature face painting, photo booth, scavenger hunt, and more
PITTSBURGH, Jan. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Pittsburgh families know it's not too early to think about where they'll send their children next school year. Hundreds of community members will gather to explore local school options at the Pittsburgh School Fair on Saturday, Jan. 28 at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center.
The free community event, which runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., has the dual goal of supporting families in finding the best education option for their child and celebrating the power of learning. Besides spreading information about traditional public, private, public charter, magnet, online, and homeschool options in the area, the event will feature family fun such as face painting, balloon twisting, a photo booth, live music, a scavenger hunt, and free snacks.
The event is planned to coincide with the celebration of National School Choice Week (Jan. 22-28, 2023), which will feature tens of thousands of school choice celebrations across all 50 states, from school fairs to landmark light-ups. In Pittsburgh, the Koppers Building and Rugby's Gulf Tower will be illuminated in red and yellow, the official colors of School Choice Week, to mark the Week.
