Get ready for Family Fun Night
Our carnival themed end-of-year celebration is back! Join us for Family Fun Night on Friday, May 31 as we say goodbye to another school year. Information will be coming home with your child next week, but our registration and volunteer links are now OPEN!
We can't wait to celebrate another great year with you!
Pre-Order Wristbands and Tickets: To make things easier again this year, we are encouraging parents to PRE-ORDER wristbands (good for inflatables), raffle tickets, game (1 ticket per game)/concession tickets, and you can even pre-purchase your meal baskets. Thanks to the awesome year of fundraising, Home & School is able to LOWER the price for wristbands this year! All pre-orders can be purchased until Monday, MAY 27th at midnight. Any items purchased will be sent home with your child on Thursday, May 30th. You will be able to purchase items at the door, but prices are increased and we can only accept cash or check. So BUY EARLY!
Volunteers Needed: We cannot hold this event without parent and youth volunteers! If you are a parent and would like to volunteer, please sign up HERE
If you have an older child (7th grade or higher) in your home that would be willing to help run a game or ride, please sign up HERE
All parent volunteers will receive 5 concession tickets for each shift they cover and student volunteers will receive a free meal of their choice (pizza or hot dog meal basket) to enjoy on their break.
