Have You Ever Dreamed of Working at a Carnival?
Live your Carnival fantasy for an hour or so by volunteering for a shift to run a game or attraction with another volunteer. On Saturday, October 28, check in, grab a name tag and a snack, and enjoy putting smiles on kids' faces as you help transform the school campus into a giant Halloween Carnival. Be part of the Carnival magic you've heard about.
Each classroom has an attraction to staff, but there are games and attractions that any parent or guardian can sign up to run. There are also opportunities to help set up and clean up if you don't want to miss a minute of the Carnival. Here's the full list with links to sign up for a shift or two:

P.S. We Want Your Gently Loved Stuffed Animals and Toys!
We are collecting gently loved stuffed animals, games, gently used toys, and candy. One of the most popular games at the Halloween Carnival is called Stuffed Animal Walk. It's like musical chairs, but the winner of each round gets to choose a stuffed animal from a colossal collection of snuggly stuffies. Drop your unwanted stuffies, toys, and candy in the big box just inside the front door of the school. Thank you!
