Ticket bundles will be available for pre-sale October 3rd – 17th. A baggie will be sent home with each student. Return the baggie with your ticket money and the tickets will go home with your student in the baggie. Ticket bundles are $10 for 20 tickets. Tickets will also be sold at the carnival ticket booth.

We are asking for candy donations for the candy walk. Bags of candy can be turned in to your student’s teacher until October 17th.
