PS 321 Carnival

COME ONE, COME ALL TO THIS YEAR'S PS 321 CARNIVAL!
SATURDAY MAY 17, 2025 @ 10am - 4pm | RAIN or SHINE
Adventure and fun await, including a 70-foot obstacle course, bounce houses and slides, axe throwing (the inflatable kind), cotton candy, popcorn, pizza, delicious food from local businesses, face painting, used book sale, carnival games and prizes…and MORE!
While the carnival is an important fundraiser, it’s also a beloved community event. Families, friends, and neighbors are all invited to this magical day. And like any huge event, it does require work – local restaurants pitch in, neighborhood camps do their part – and now we all need to do ours.
Learn how you can get involved with or contribute to our 2nd biggest fundraiser of the year below!

GET INVOLVED: FOR FAMILIES!
Donate to the Prize Room; we want all your unused birthday party goody bag toys, trinkets, or party favors! Drop off will continue through April. Look for labeled boxes inside both the Upper and Lower school!
Carnival is a huge event that requires a lot to make it a success! Help us replenish and stock essential Carnival supplies by making donations via our Amazon Wishlist by Friday, May 2!
Donate your gently used books, games, and puzzles for us to sell in the Pop Up Shop! Bring your items to the Upper School or Lower School lobby Friday, 5/9 – Friday, 5/16, during drop off or pick up.
As we get to the end of April, you can buy a discounted pizza for us to sell in the Carnival Food Hall. Stay tuned for when you can start calling our generous sponsor, Da Nonna Rosa (718-788-6225). Deadline to reserve those pies will be Friday, May 16th at 5pm!
Buy raffle tickets! Thanks to generous local businesses, we will have great items for our raffle!

GET INVOLVED: FOR SPONSORS!
This popular event is one of our largest fundraisers. We rely on our fantastic community sponsors to help the PTA raise essential funds to support over 1,300 students at one of Brooklyn’s largest elementary schools.
We partner with local banks, real estate agencies, dentists, restaurants, after-school programs, and more to gain awareness with the families who attend our Carnival. Our sponsorships are competitively priced and allow your investment to work double-time by promoting your business while supporting the local community. We would love you to join us as a supporter for this exciting day!
