There’s even a game or two for the adults to play. There will be free games throughout the school with a few games in the gym that will cost a $1 each.

Stop by the “Navy Jail” in the main lobby. You can arrest your favorite teacher, principal or parent and have them locked in jail. It’s only 25 cents a minute to lock them up!

We will have some of your favorite carnival food. Please visit the cafeteria to get cotton candy, popcorn, pizza and hot dogs.  Don’t forget the lemonade!  While you are there in the cafeteria, try your luck at the “Cupcake Walk”.

To make this event successful, we are requesting 2 or 3 volunteers per class to setup and manage the food concessions, manage the games & crafts, and more. Use the below link to sign up:

There is always a need for blood donors in order to maintain the levels to support our community. Please consider taking the time to make a donation in order to help those that rely on our blood banks during times of illness or injury.

Appointments may be made either by contacting Angela Evans at ang.evans5@gmail.com or through the Inova Blood Services online tool. To schedule using the online tool go to www.inovabloodsaves.org.  Click on “Donate Blood.” Type in our sponsor code – 7122 – and then hit “enter.” The Navy Blood Drive will be listed. Click on that drive and then schedule your appointment. You may need to register as an Inova donor if you haven’t already.

Please contact Angela Evans if you have any questions or would like to volunteer to help at the Blood Drive.

Give blood and help save lives!
