during the carnival.
We also are always in need of extra help for set-up
and take down of the carnival as well.
Attached you will find a

basket and silent auction items or volunteer some of your time to
the carnival.

There is also a page with details to
pre-order wristbands, punch cards and face
paint coupons. The wristbands are a new option this year for
those families that may choose to stay for the entire night of the
carnival.
---------preorder wrist bands & punch cards---------
Any pre-ordered tickets.
coupons or wristbands can be picked up in the front lobby of the
school the night of the carnival. We had problems last year
with items getting lost or parents not having time to go through
backpacks or Friday folders! !1 One less thing to have to worry
about bringing with you the night of the carnival! !
We are trying to provide as much information as
possible so families can pre plan and budget how much money they
might spend to take advantage of all of their favorite activities! !
!
Please feel free to contact any committee member if you have any
questions.
We hope to see all of you at the Fox Creek
Country Fair!!!!!!

KISS A PIG Contest
Most of the students have been told by the participating
Fox Creek staff members about the 'Kiss
A Pig' contest that is going to be held in conjunction with
the Fox Creek County Fair. The
Fox Creek Staff that has volunteered to
be included in the contest are as follows
Mr. Decker, Mr. Oliver, Mrs. Banks, Mrs.
Smiley, Mrs. Cummins,
Mrs. Henderson, and Mrs. Schumacher.
The contest will work by having jars for each of the
staff members in the school office beginning on
Monday, April 14th. Students are
encouraged to bring in coins or dollars and place in the jar of the
staff member they would like to see "kiss a
pig". The staff member with the most money by Wednesday,
April 30th will "kiss a pig"
sometime during the Fox Creek Country Fair. The $$$ collected, of
course, will go right back to the students through various PTO
purchases for classroom and playground needs. Thank you!!!

With the weather
changing, remember to watch for school closures. The local TV
and radio stations typically list Unit5 closures. Also,
you can check on-line at
Unit 5.org
or

bus transportation center at 452-0428
