Volunteers are always needed for Carnival - we have split shifts so you can enjoy Carnival with your child(ren) part of the night and help work a game or concession for the other half of the night. Grandparents, aunts, uncles and older siblings may help volunteer also. We also need help with setup the day of Carnival and tear down after Carnival ends. |
If you have any question regarding Carnival or would like to help volunteer on a committee, please contact Rachel Richards.

- Walking club doors will open at 7:55. Students must wear their lanyard to enter the school for walking club. Students will enter and place their backpack in the hallways near their grade level sign. Students will not go to the coat rooms or classrooms.
- Students will line up with a partner and follow Mr. Mohning for a morning walk.
- Students will receive a punch on their punch card each day they walk. They will earn prizes by turning their punch card in to Mr. Mohning each time the reach 25, 50, 75, 100, 125 and 150 miles.
- Walking Club will conclude at 8:15. Students will enter the school through the recess door and pick up their backpack.
- Behavior expectations for walking club: Students will actively participate in the walk, stay with the walking club group and keep their hands and feet to themselves. They will not attempt to go to the classroom early or go to the coat rooms before 8:15. Failure to these rules will result in removal from Walking Club. The club is operated on a three strike system. The third strike will result in removal for the remainder of the year.
Volunteers:
- Volunteers can enter the building just prior to 7:55 and sign in at the front office. They will then go to their volunteer assignment if helping with the front door or hallway. Please do not attempt to enter the building prior to 7:50.
- Volunteers helping with the walk will be directed by Mr. Mohning and may wait near the front of the line and help punch tags as the students line up.
- At the conclusion of walking club, volunteers need to enter the building to turn in their volunteer badge and exit through the front door. Volunteers are not able to visit classrooms or walk their child to class. Please respect this boundary so we can keep the walking club in place
