Final School Carnival Event for Garfield Elementary
During Garfield Elementary School’s last open house this past Thursday, the school respectfully combined events by also holding a good-bye closing ceremony to honor its 56 years of educational history. In light of Garfield Elementary’s closing in Carmichael, staff, students and parents will be cheerfully hosting the school’s final spring carnival. Every school year, Garfield staff has held several yearly events on school grounds such as the annual Halloween festival and an end of the year spring carnival. Even though this will be the last school carnival, it is predicted to be just as fun as ever.
It has been decided that the Friday, May 14, carnival event will be a 1950s decade and dance theme, and everyone is welcome to join in. The food, fun and exciting festivities will begin at 5PM and go until 8PM. Current students, staff and their families, as well as Garfield Elementary alumni are especially encouraged to participate. Other San Juan School District students and faculty members, along with surrounding community members and public school supporters are also invited join the fun!
Not only will the carnival have wonderful game prizes and special activities set up for the evening’s events, but it will also offer a tasty selection of foods and sweets. Hot dogs, corn dogs, nachos with melty cheese, chili bowls and popcorn! Those with a sweet tooth can choose from a snow cone earlier in the evening, or munch on a wand of sticky cotton candy later. Then, sometime during the night’s festivities, there will be a band playing live Rock n’ Roll music performed by former Garfield student Todd Morgan and The Emblems.
