Carnival Class Contests Start Next Week!

The LMS Carnival is one of the most exciting events of the school year for students - and one of the most important fundraisers for the school. Class contests start in two weeks to help gather gently used items to stock some of the most loved carnival booths!

This is a great way for the whole family to help support the event. The class that brings in the most items by the end of each week will win a special surprise!

Here's how you can help:

  • NEXT WEEK, August 25 - 29: Send in gently-used costumes or accessories
  • September 2 - 5: Send in gently-used stuffed animals (no larger than 2 feet tall)
  • September 8 - 12: Send in jamboree jars (empty glass jars with trinkets and treats - no chocolate, please!)

Save the date for Tuesday, September 30: The Carnival!

The Carnival Kitchen Needs Your Help!

We are gathering donations for the LMS Carnival Kitchen and need your help!

The Carnival Kitchen Tent sells homemade freezer meals or freshly baked items to parents, family members, and friends on Carnival Day. But to have delicious items to sell, we need your donations of homemade meals and sweets! Lasagna, poppyseed chicken, soup, egg muffins, or breakfast casseroles can all be made before and frozen. If you prefer to bake, send in cookies or a cake! Start thinking now about what you can make—double your recipe and freeze it for the Carnival.

See more resources and ideas here. Already know what you’re going to make? Please email Sarah Ellis at LMSCarnivalKitchen@gmail.com.
