ALL ACCESS WRISTBANDS ARE BACK! 

That's right, no standing in line (sometimes more than once) to replenish your zealous game player's ticket stash. Purchase wristbands here. 

The wristbands will include one food item, drink and one cotton candy or snow cone and unlimited games, bounce houses, etc.*

All this magic for only $35.  Individual tickets will also be available, should you want to go that route (hair extensions require tickets) .

Look for new and improved streamlined distribution tables at the carnival and pre-pickup after school on the 24th. 
 

* Wristbands exclude hair extensions.

We NEED You to Volunteer!

Sign Up Now!

Top ten reasons to volunteer at the carnival:


10. There are thousands of parents at LHCS-there are only 200 volunteer spots. This is a very elite group-be among the "chosen" few.


9. There are often long lines at this popular event. Avoid standing in long lines, maybe even get a chair at your post. 

8. Chasing your kids at this event can feel hectic. Let someone else chase them by playing the "Sorry, I have to volunteer" card.

7. The sooner you sign up the better the selection of available positions-adults only silent auction post anyone?

6. Think about when these kids are grown, do you want to look back and say " Man, I really should have worked the carnival duck pond while I had the chance"?

5. There are "clean up/tear down" jobs available. Getting out of bedtime duty (after cake walk and cotton candy) = priceless.  

4. Karma is real, people. Karma is real.

3. Having to cancel the cake walk due to lack of volunteers/donations will shatter the dreams of 7-year old hearts. Can you live with that?

2. No one WANTS to work an elementary school carnival, but we can do hard things! 

1. Know you will read the remaining pleas for volunteers with a clear conscience--after all they aren't talking to you.
