River Grove families — our Spring Carnival is almost here, and we need YOUR help to make the magic happen! 🎪✨

This is one of our biggest (and most fun!) events of the year with a DJ, tons of treats, games, prizes, bounce houses, and so much more… but events like this truly cannot happen without volunteers.

We have volunteer opportunities for adults, 5th graders, and teens, plus several shorter shifts if you can only help for part of the evening. Even one small shift makes a huge difference!

If you’re planning to volunteer, please sign up sooner rather than later so we can make sure all of our stations are covered and ready for an amazing night.

Thank you for always showing up for our school community. We can’t wait to celebrate one of the final big events of the year together 💛
