A huge THANK YOU to our amazing Face Painter - Marge Habegger (Sarah Morgan) and our Hair Tinsel - Becky Huggard volunteers! ✨🎨

If you found yourself standing in line for a little while, we hope you'll agree it was worth the wait. These talented volunteers generously donate not only their time, but also their supplies, creativity, and energy to make our event extra special for our students and families.

From colorful face paint creations to sparkling strands of hair tinsel, they helped create countless smiles and memories throughout the day. Their willingness to give back to our school community is truly remarkable, and we simply can't thank them enough for everything they do.

Please join us in showing our appreciation for these incredible volunteers who help make our events so memorable. We are so grateful for your generosity, talent, and dedication to our amazing school community! ❤️🖤💛

As we wrap up another incredible Carnival, we just want to say THANK YOU.

To our volunteers who gave their time & energy, to our teachers and staff who braved the concessions, stayed to help bring all the finishing touches; to our parents and families who showed up, donated, helped, and cheered us on; and to our students, whose smiles make it all worthwhile—thank you.

A special shout-out to our dunk tank volunteers, who bravely took their seats above the water and kept the crowd entertained with their witty one liners, quick wit, and willingness to get completely soaked for a good cause. The laughs you brought were priceless! 💦😂

Seeing so many happy faces, hearing the laughter, watching friends make memories, and getting the chance to say hello to so many of you reminded us exactly why we do this. The love, support, and sense of community that filled every corner of the carnival was truly something special.

There were late nights, early mornings, endless to-do lists, and maybe a few sleepless nights along the way—but seeing our school come together made every single one of them worth it.

We are so grateful to be part of a community that shows up for one another and for our kids in such a big way.

Thank you for making this year's Carnival one to remember. We couldn't do it without you, and we wouldn't want to. ❤️

Until next year... we're going to catch up on some sleep. 😉🎪

🎪🚨 CARNIVAL NIGHT IS HERE! 🚨🎪

Tonight is the night!!!

After months of planning, approximately 8,427 group messages, 137 emergency Amazon orders, countless trips to "town," and several moments of "whose idea was this again?"... WE ARE READY.

Our families have graciously accepted that:
✔️ Laundry is now decorative.
✔️ Dinner has occasionally been whatever could be heated up.
✔️ Every flat surface in our homes has been covered in carnival supplies.
✔️ We answer questions with things like, "I can't talk right now, I'm pricing rubber chickens."

To our amazing families: thank you for your patience, support, and willingness to live in what can only be described as organized carnival chaos. ❤️

Now if you'll excuse us, we're off to do the traditional pre-carnival panic where we check everything 17 more times and hope for the best. 🎪✨

💦🎯 DUNK TANK ANNOUNCEMENT 🎯💦

You know them.
You love them.
You've heard them talk a little smack about how hard it is to hit the target.

Our 2026 Dunk Tank All-Stars are:
Returning fan favorites Mr. Brandsen and Mr. Richmond are back, and joining this legendary duo is rookie sensation Coach Foss.

Rumor has it these three have spent months perfecting their techniques:
🎯 Claiming the target "must be broken."
🎯 Telling students, "Good luck hitting the target."
🎯 Questioning everyone's throwing abilities
🎯 Insisting the target is harder to hit than it looks

Meanwhile, students have spent the year preparing by:
😈 Remembering every extra homework assignment
😈 Remembering every whistle blown at practice
😈 Imagining them getting soaked.

👀 Keep an eye out for a few SURPRISE GUESTS throughout the night.

The only question left is...

👀 WHO ARE YOU MOST EXCITED TO SEE TAKE THE PLUNGE?

Drop your predictions below. We won't tell them. (We absolutely will tell them.)

See you at the dunk tank! 💦🤣🎪

Just when we thought our sponsor lineup was complete...

TWO MORE Sponsors came splashing through at the very last minute.

Did we immediately update our sponsor list? Yes.
Did we panic slightly while redoing graphics? Also yes. 😅

A HUGE thank you to GreyStone Vacations HoneyMoon & Travel and Serbin Real Estate for jumping in and making waves for our Glen Lake Carnival!

🎂 Cakes will be won
🎟️ Tickets will disappear

THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
