The Winter Carnival is on Jan. 26 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Gym. At this event, freshman will work games and run the carnival which kids from elementary and middle schools pay to attend.
“It is one of the biggest fundraisers for Senior Celebration at the end of their senior year,” Assistant Principal Colleen Fields, coordinator of the carnival, said.
The Senior Celebration has been held at Sports Fusion in previous years and the profits help provide for an entire night of fun after graduation. They need freshman to sign up in order to make the fundraiser successful. The more money raised, the better the senior celebration.
The booths the freshman will work are games like Duck Pond, where the kids pick a duck with a number on the bottom and they win a prize according to it. According to Fields, there will also be basketball hoops set up along with other carnival games that little kids would like.
Parents looking to help can donate prizes like small toys, beanie babies, DVDs and soda bottles. The prizes can be new or gently used and all donations can be dropped off in the Freshman Office.
If you want to get your business out there you can sponsor a booth or game for $200 and a sign with your business name on it. Contact Dave Naeger at [email protected] for anything that deals with sponsorship.
