On Saturday January 22nd, members of the Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC staff attended the National School Choice Week event hosted by The Parent’s Challenge. Over 80 booths of local schools, organizations and non-profits gathered together for the day in order to display their wares, and educate families on the different opportunities available to them in Colorado Springs.
Hundreds of families showed up and were able to enjoy music, performances by local groups, as well as an activity area that included a bouncy house, connect four, corn hole and more. With different raffle opportunities being given away throughout the day, it was an excellent opportunity for families to develop connections with local family practices, schools, and family friendly event venues (like Weidner Field).
Also in attendance at this unique event was the most popular member of the Switchbacks staff – Ziggy! He had a blast taking photos with families, and even tried his hand at a game of Connect 4!
