Washington School will be hosting our annual School Carnival, themed “Always a Wolf” on April 21, 2023, here at our school in Bloomington, Illinois. This carnival, which is our school’s largest fund-raiser, is held solely for the purpose of enhancing education for our children, with a wee bit of fun thrown in there, too. ALL proceeds from the carnival will again go toward enriching the lives and education of our students. We are happy to include funding for McLean County’s FIRST school garden that was erected in the spring of 2011, which we have since supplemented with 10 hydroponic grow towers, obtained through several grants.  We also enrich the lives of our students with field trips and STEAM assemblies with these funds.  Our school also hosts a family game night and an art night for all students, and their families, and this carnival generates funding to pay for food and supplies.

On behalf of the students at Washington School, we would like you to consider making a contribution to this year’s auction with a donation for an auction basket.   As we are having raffle baskets, anything you can contribute would be appreciated. We have not  had the chance to have many fundraisers due to COVID over the last three years.   The Bloomington-Normal community has continued to generously support us every year, and we would like to give you an opportunity to be part of that support.  Your contribution is always appreciated by the students, staff, and the parents of Washington School.

Each item donated has a plaque in front of the item, listing who donated each item.  We also create a booklet of items to be sent home with each student prior to the carnival, listing all items and donors.  We will also put out any display materials provided to us.

Thank you so much for considering our request.   We would like to have any donation items by April 10.  If you have any questions or need additional information before that time, please contact Washington School at 309-829-7034.  Our tax identification number is E9994-9131-06 (37-1283028) for your records!
