Ahoy, mateys! For the first time since 2019, our beloved Spring Carnival is back! This year we’re sailing the spring carnival seas with our theme: “Pirates in the Cary-Be-In.” Arrrrrr, don’t miss this opportunity to have fun while supporting our children’s school. The spring carnival is the PTA’s largest fundraiser and allows us to share our treasure: all of the programming we offer our students! 

 

Admission is $10 per person (adults and kids). Ages 3 and under are free (no doubloons required fer our littlest pirate friends). Admission includes inflatables, a dance party, character interactions, and a costume contest for both kids and grown-ups!

 

Tickets are used for face paining, henna, fairy hair, PTA Snack Shack, and raffle entries. Tickets will be sold at the event for $1.00 each. 

 

 

Highcroft teachers and staff will be provided free admission.
