Children must have a responsible adult with them -
this is not a drop-off event.
On Friday evening, enter at the entrance between the Van Hise and Hamilton Gyms, just off the Van Hise Parking Lot. Check out a map for the event HERE.
Games, the raffle, and food items will be ticket based. Stop at the ticket table just inside the entrance to pick up the tickets and/or wristbands your family would like to purchase for participating in activities.
(Prices below)
*We strongly prefer cash or check for purchasing tickets.
At the carnival, there will be a large variety of games that kids can play. Game play will earn you prizes, that you can pick out at the prize table between the Van Hise and Hamilton gyms. Individual tickets for games or a wrist band for unlimited play can be purchased in the area near the entrance between the two gyms. We will also have a raffle running with LOADS of amazing prizes.
Food will be served in the cafeteria. Options will include either a dinner of pizza, fresh fruit/veggies, a dessert and a drink for $5 or just a pizza slice and drink for $3. Food tickets can be purchased at the ticket table in the hall between the two gyms.
Interested in taking the kids to the school carnival but worried about how costs might add up? We understand! Just reach out to our Social Worker, Rachael Nachtwey, at rlnachtwey@madison.k12.wi.us, and she will provide you with tickets for dinner and games.
