McNeil Canyon Fall Carnival

The annual McNeil Canyon Elementary Fall Carnival will be held on Saturday, October 28th from 3:00 - 6:00 pm. This is a fun-filled evening for the whole family and community. The Fall Carnival is sponsored by Community Council and is 1 of 2 major fundraisers for the year. Plus, it's a lot of fun! Parents will be receiving a phone call from their class parent representative asking them to help at the Carnival. Your time commitment can be as short as one hour. Please consider helping with this great event. We couldn't do it with out you all!!


BUY YOUR TICKETS EARLY AND AVOID THE LONG LINE!


***Last year's event was so popular that the line for ticket sales was out the door!

This year we are offering early ticket sales exclusively to McNeil families. Bring cash or check to the school during PT conferences, buy early at the front office, and avoid the long ticket sales line.

We're looking forward to another great carnival this year! Hope to see you all there.
