The Highland Spring Carnival is rapidly approaching and will be held on Friday March 29th from 5:30p to 8p. Pre-order tickets sales forms went home this week and will be due back on Monday March 25th. By ordering meals and tickets in advance, you will save time and money. All pre-ordered tickets will be available for pick up on Thursday, March 28th after school on the basketball court west of the school. In conjunction with the Carnival, there is a poster contest which started on Monday March 18th. Posters will need to be turned in by Thursday March 21st to Mrs. Hultz' classroom after school. The primary grade winner and the intermediate grade winner will receive a free wristband good for all the games, inflatables and rock climbing wall. The PTO is hoping that everyone will come and have a great time at the Carnival. There will be food, games, inflatables and of course the silent auction. We are still looking for donations of individually wrapped snack cakes for the cake walk as well as suckers (tootsie roll pops) for the lollypop tree. Also, each classroom is donating a basket at the Silent Auction. Check with your child's teacher to help make the Silent Auction a success. It takes many parents to have a successfull Carnival, so if you have an hour to spend helping at the Carnival, please e mail Janis Johnson atjanisjaz@yahoo.com. We look forward to seeing you and your children at the Carnival! http://www.mpsaz.org/highland/highland_newsletter/articles/27887/?ref=rss http://www.mpsaz.org/highland/highland_newsletter/articles/27887/?ref=rss 2013-03-20 07:56:07 Gifted testing will be held the week after Spring Break, March 18-22.
