CARNIVAL 6/9
Save-the-date for our school-wide, end-of-year celebration.  Inflatables, games, cupcake walk, prizes, food, and more!
 
WHO:  Dickinson/Explorer students, families, and guests
WHAT:  CARNIVAL
WHEN:  Friday, June 9, 2023 @ 5:30-8:30pm
WHERE:  outdoors on school campus, rain or shine
 
HOW:
1.  Complete a mandatory LWSD Permission Slip (English, Spanish) PER student, sibling, or child.  Return to school before May 31!
2.  Pre-purchase your all-access wristband HERE before May 31!  Wristbands are $25 per student, sibling, or child.  Wristbands may be purchased the night of carnival, but lines can be very long.  Scholarships are available.  Adults do not need a wristband to attend or to accompany a young child on an inflatable.  However, Carnival is not a drop-off event.
 
VOLUNTEER:  
We need volunteers to run carnival successfully.  Please review the online sign-up HERE.  Volunteer shifts are only one hour so you can still enjoy carnival with your student(s).  Volunteers will earn 10 prize tickets for every hour they volunteer.
 

HELP WITH:

  • Games - run a simple carnival game (your student can help you)
  • Food - sell food or concessions (no cooking)
  • Admission - sell wristbands and collect permission slips in front of the school at carnival
  • Prizes - redeem tickets for prizes
  • Set-up - immediately after school, help set up games, food/concessions area, prize table, etc.
  • Clean-up - clean up and put away games
REFLECTIONS THEME ANNOUNCED

The National PTA Reflections art contest is open to all Dickinson/Explorer students.  Students create and submit original works of art in one or all of the available categories, but just one entry per category:  dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography, and visual arts.  The 2023-24 Reflections theme is "I AM HOPEFUL BECAUSE..."

Let the theme inspire you and let creativity flow!  Can't wait to see what Dickinson/Explorer students create!  Submission deadline:  Wed, Nov 1.  Please electronically submit entries to communications@dickinsonptsa.org
