Our school carnival is this Saturday. Come join the fun. Each grade will have a gift basket to auction off. Kindergarten will have a gift card basket. Please send a $1 or $2 donation to help buy gift cards for the basket.

Kindergarten will also have a doll and car booth. Your child may enter one car or one doll in the booth. The entry fee is $1. Carnival goers will vote on their favorite doll and truck. A prize will be given to the car and doll with the highest number of votes. Your child's doll or truck must be at school by Thursday, April 28.

Each class will have a quilt that will be auctioned off on Saturday during the carnival. Each child's handprint and name is on the class quilt. Come and bid on our class quilt.
