Parents should have received an email earlier this week from their class parents with information on volunteering for the carnival. The carnival requires over 400 hours of volunteer time, and with 455 families in the school we need everyone’s participation! We have close to 50% of volunteer slots filled â?” thanks so much to all the people who are volunteering their time, and many for 3 hours or more! We have a severe need for volunteers on Saturday, and there are still some slots available on Thursday and Friday, especially later in the evening. Please send an email to norwoodcarnival@gmail.com to secure your spot! Don’t wait â?” this train is rolling! All children will be receiving a letter in their child’s folder with additional details on the carnival early next week. This will include general information, as well as information on how to buy advance tickets and 50/50 raffle tickets. In the past the 50/50 winner received over $1,500! |
