The Manchester Fair was a huge success! This was the first fair co-organized by EdOpt and the Children’s Scholarship Fund. It was held this past Saturday March 21 at Trinity High School in Manchester, NH.
The DJ and food truck attracted hundreds of people (and their children!) to talk with over 50 education providers across the range of options. There was also had a drum circle that brought in so many kids to participate! It was standing room only.
There were representatives from learning centers, homeschool groups, charter schools, extracurricular activities, private schools, and public schools. There were also tutors and different approaches to adult ed and colleges.
The EdOpt table was also a popular stop for families to get help navigating potential education paths.
One family stopped at the EdOpt table after they had walked around the entire fair. The mother’s comment:
“THIS was the table I was looking for!”
Double your impact for NH families
At nearly every EdOpt event, we hear the same thing from parents:
“I didn’t know these options existed!”
Helping families discover those options is exactly why EdOpt exists.
Through fairs, outreach, and trusted information, we connect New Hampshire families with schools and learning environments that truly fit their children. Sometimes, a single conversation changes a child’s entire path.
Now, you can make that impact go even further.
Supporters have stepped forward to seed an $18,000 matching gift for 2026—which means every donation will be doubled until the match is met.
Your gift today can help more families discover the education options available to them.

Warmly,
