2016 MCES Spring Carnival!
The Spring Carnival is scheduled for April 9th, 4-8 p.m. Our committee is very excited about this year's carnival, and we're sure the students are as well!
In the next several weeks, you will be getting information about different ways you can help. We will be looking for small donations for our raffle baskets and baked goods for our cake walk. We would also love to have parents help with set-up, tear-down, and assistance the day of the carnival. In addition, we are still looking for a couple people to help the silent auction committee find great donated items to auction off at the carnival!
If you are interested in helping with the silent auction OR if you can help the day of the carnival, please contact Missy Balleydier at mballeydier@gmail.com for more information.
