Family Fun Night & Dance is coming...

This year we've taken the concept of the school dance to a whole new level. Mr. Gonzalez really liked the idea of having a "Passport to the World" themed dance and we have really taken that idea and gone crazy with it!

Our ideas are to have the attendees be treated to a trip around the world by visiting all 7 continents. Upon entering the school they will be given a passport and they will be able to participate in a variety of activities to earn stamps for their passport. At the end of the evening they can turn their passports in for a fortune cookie. If they have at least 5 stamps in their passport they will be entered into a drawing for some cool prizes.

The Continents they will visit are:
Africa: Faces of Carson!
Create a self-portrait face to be displayed with our map!
Asia: Leave Your Mark! Mark where they, their parents, or grandparents are from on a giant map of the world.
Australia: Climb Ayers Rock! Take a climb on our rock wall and imagine you are climbing the largest monolith in the world!
Antarctica: Picture It! The 6th graders will be taking pictures with 1 of 4 backgrounds of famous places around the word to choose from and they will be sold for $5.
Europe: Buon Apetito! Enjoy some refreshements being sold by the 6th graders: Pizza $1/slice, Pop or Water $1/each.
N. America: Fame and Fortune! Passport pick up and turn in.
South America: Macarena & More! Participate in a group dance led by our fabulous Tune City DJ's.

It is going to be a really great time for the whole family and we hope to see you there.

We can always use volunteers. We are looking for passport stampers, we'd love to have at least 2 per continet. One of our priorities is to make sure that our volunteers still get to enjoy the events they are helping with. The more volunteers we have the easier it is to make this happen!

One last reminder: Parking at our school is very limited. Show respect for our community and our environment by walking or carpooling. We appreciate your effort!
