Description

Each year we hold a Carnival with silent auction, raffle baskets, games, food, and fun. We hope to bring the community and families together to celebrate the success of the school. 


We serve an at-risk population: 63% minority, 30% disability, and 73% low-income. Carnival is our main fundraising event of the year and money raised will assist in supporting classroom technology, reading incentive programs, positive behavior programs, the school garden, library resources, student support, and this year’s goal to start a field trip fund for our teachers to support out-of-classroom learning experiences for our students!  All donating organizations will be gratefully and visibly recognized at the carnival, on the PTA Facebook page, and on our PTA website. This year's event will be held May 3, 2024.
