This year, there will be a variety of food options: Corleone’s steak and chicken sandwiches, Zpizza, hot dogs, tamales, nachos, popcorn, sodas, water and much more. Come and have dinner and enjoy the Autumn evening with your family.
Each classroom also creates a themed gift basket to be raffled off that evening– making more than 50 raffle basket options. Raffle tickets are $1 each or $20 for 25 and may be purchased at the event. At a minimum, the baskets are valued at $200 and some are much more.
The Carnival is a HUGE event and takes many, many volunteers to make it successful. Not only do we need volunteers to help plan the event, but also to set-up/clean-up and work at the Carnival the day of the event.
