Volunteers Needed
Volunteers are needed to help staff this big event. We ask that every family volunteers for two hours at class booths or other locations. A link to sign up for slots will be available soon.
Cake Walk
Please help Grade 3 by bringing store-bought treats for the Cake Walk. We are asking for donations of cakes, cookies, cupcakes, brownies, etc. Gluten-free items are also needed; please leave them in their packaging. Don't forget: “healthy treats” are winning, too!
Photo Buttons
Once again, Maureen Richards has graciously offered to donate her photo buttons to the Carnival. A photo of each Santa Catalina student has already been taken and is waiting for you to have it transformed into a treasured keepsake! For $3.00, the 2.25-inch buttons can be worn as pins or used as magnets. Please stop by and visit Maureen at the photo button booth.
Cash, credit cards, and Venmo will be accepted for wristbands and food purchases. All other booths, including the Snack Shack, beverages, and photo buttons, are CASH ONLY.
