Sacajawea Carnival- Fun for All!


Sacajawea's annual spring carnival on Friday was a fun and successful night. Families across the community came together to eat, play games, and win prizes.  The event was hosted by the PTO and the proceeds from the carnival helps pay for field trips and other special events at the school. Each grade level had a booth that students could test their skills at and win tickets.
  • Kindergarten: ABC game
  • 1st Grade: Guess how many gummy bears
  • 2nd Grade: Store where students practice counting money
  • 3rd Grade: Rubber ducky races
  • 4th Grade: Frog launcher and measure the distance the frog travels
  • 5th Grade: Plot the coordinates



 


There was also a Book Walk run by Mr. Webster where the prize was a free book. Firefighters from a local fire station brought their fire truck and allowed the students to climb on and pretend to be a firefighter. The firefighters even took part in the "steer roping" that 4th grade had set up. Volunteers from Deer Flat Refuge center also came out and shared some really cool animal hides and gave students information about their programs.




Another fun part of the evening was the raffle.  There were so many different baskets full of school supplies, beauty products, outdoor fun stuff, and many other things that had been donated by parents, teachers, and local businesses.  All in all it was a wonderful night for teachers, staff, and Sac's students and families to relax and have fun.
