Hi families,
We’re excited to continue the next steps for the End-of-Year Carnival—a fun, free, PTO-led event for the whole family!

Save the date: Friday, June 5th

Location: New Buffalo Elementary School

Time: 5:30-8:00pm (BASE will have access to the inflatables from 4:00-5:00pm)

This event will include inflatables, carnival games, food, face painting, raffles, and more—all designed to be inclusive, flexible, and community-built.

👉 Check out the attached flyer for full details and ways to get involved.

We’d love your help! Whether you have an idea, want to lead a game, or can lend a hand the day-of, there are plenty of ways to participate—no long-term commitment needed.

A small group of PTO volunteers is coordinating, but this event comes to life through families like yours—we hope you’ll jump in where it feels fun and doable.

Thank you for being part of it—we can’t wait to celebrate together!

Warmly,
PTO Student Events Committee

BASE Update: We are thrilled by the incredible response to our Running Club!
Due to the high number of sign-ups, we have officially reached our maximum capacity and registration is now closed.

We want to ensure a safe and high-quality experience for all our participants, which means we have to cap the group size.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Mrs. Selby. Thank you!
