SUMMARY:Pueblo Spring Mandatory Session
DESCRIPTION:It’s easy to forget to simply have fun with your kids. Rules\, responsibilities\, schoolwork\, and the daily grind can crowd out moments of joy. That’s where intentionality comes in—sometimes you have to plan for laughter. \n\n\nParents often ask how to prevent problem behaviors or help their children make wise choices. One of the most effective proactive steps is building a family identity rooted in connection: “We know how to have fun together.” Shared joy strengthens relationships\, protects a child’s heart\, and creates a foundation for healthy choices. \n\n\nJoin us as we host a yearly event designed to support families in both connection and education. The event provides resources and information to help families confidently navigate and support their educational choices. Vendors representing all school choice options\, along with organizations offering support services such as sports\, tutoring\, camps\, and enrichment programs\, come together to serve families in a meaningful and accessible way. \nLocation TBD
