Spring Carnival

THE PS321 SPRING CARNIVAL is almost here!

SATURDAY JUNE 1, 2024 @ 10am - 4pm RAIN OR SHINE

The moment you’ve been waiting for all year is here! Overnight, PS321 will be transformed into a magical wonderland for families from the school and wider community to enjoy everything a carnival has to offer:

classic carnival games & prizes

outdoor inflatables 

delicious food from local hot spots 

cotton candy & popcorn treats 

face painting, manicures, hair braiding

an enormous used book & game sale

hands-on creative & athletic experiences led by neighborhood pros

 

The show will go on RAIN or SHINE, because you cannot stop this FUN!

While the carnival is one of our biggest fundraisers of the year, it is also a huge love letter to the kids of Park Slope – a true community event –  so make sure to bring your non-school friends & family with you! And like any good love letter, it does require work – local restaurants are pitching in, neighborhood camps are doing their part, and we all need to do ours! So plan to come and plan to work whatever the weather! 

 

We hope you will join us in making the carnival come to life. 

We need volunteers at every stage of the day:

Braid hair! Paint faces! 

Bake for the bake sale! Buy a pizza!

Sell tickets! Set up the event!

Shifts at concessions, bouncy houses, book & game shop!

 

Imagine your luck – there are so many ways to get involved, you can do more than one thing! Bake a treat AND do a face painting shift. Buy a pizza AND sell tickets. Donate books AND set up. Make it a fun hang – get a slot with a friend and have a blast while helping the school! 

 

Email ps321-carnival@ps321.org if you’d like to help plan or donate.

 

Stay tuned here for our volunteer sign up as we get closer to the big day!
