RING Master TIPS FOR CARNIVAL WEEK

RING MASTER

REMINDER!

Raffle is under way and

we have set our goal.

Keep selling and see

who will get the Pie-in-the-eye!!

Don’t stand in the line at the Ticket Booth. Pre-order your Fun Passes, Tickets, and Bozo Burgers today!

Carnival Fun Passes! Fun passes are bracelets that allow you to pay 1 time for all you can play Carnival night. You may want to purchase tickets (25 for $10) since the fun pass will not cover concessions (2-6 tickets), cake walk (2 tickets) or traveling Ring Master (2-8 tickets). Without a Fun Pass for your child, each ride and amusement will cost 1-6 tickets depending on the activity.

Bozo Burgers! Have a hankering for a big juicy burger? Then step right up and pre-order your dinner for carnival night. This tasty burger is sure to please the entire crowd.

Circus Gear! Carnival merchandise, t-shirts, tickets and fun passes will be distributed via backpack mail on Friday, October 3rd. Be on the look out!

Have a Funtastic Time! Carnival is a great time for families to get together and have good time.

MINI AUCTION MANIA Want to go back to PreK and spend the day with Clifford? Have you ever wanted to see what it would be like to be Mrs. Chauviere or Mrs. Dauthier for the day? Imagine walking the passageways of St. James on “Patterson Beaman Boulevard” or “George and Owen Alley”. How about bringing home a huge themed gift basket put together by each grade level filled with art supplies or board games. Or running the cafeteria for the day including your own menu!

Last year was such a gigantic success we’re bring it back again this year. Decorate your favorite cake (home made by you) and bring it to school on Friday, October 8th. Cakes will be judged by our cafeteria staff. Prizes will be awarded by grade level. After judging, the cakes will be donated to the Cake Walk Booth for Carnival Night. So you’re not a baker, that’s okay. We need donations of all kinds of cakes for the Cake Walk, so please considering donating a store bought cake instead. Cakes need to be delivered to school on Friday, October 8th. Our clown volunteers will be in carpool line collecting all the wonderful cakes.
