Due to the weather, the inflatables will not be set up during BASE today - the inflatables are rescheduled for another day. We apologize for any inconvenience.
📣 Carnival Update – We're Still On! 🎉
Thank you for your flexibility as we adjust our plans due to the weather.
⏰ Please note: The Carnival will now begin at 6:00 PM. This schedule change was made in consideration of BASE programming and to help ensure a smooth transition for everyone.
With rain in the forecast, we are moving activities indoors to the gym so the fun can continue regardless of the weather.
Please enter through Door #1.
We'll continue monitoring conditions throughout the day, and if the weather improves, we may move some activities back outside.
Don't forget:
💵 Bring cash for snow cones, popcorn, and our Jail fundraiser.
☔ Consider bringing an umbrella or towel in case of rain.
🚒 If the weather cooperates, we're still hoping for a visit from the fire truck at the end of the event!

🎡 Carnival Reminder – Friday, June 5 🎡
Our End-of-Year Carnival is almost here!
⚽ Bring a blanket or lawn chair, and don't forget a ball, frisbee, or favorite outdoor game! The field will be open for picnicking, playing, and family fun.
☔ Rain is in the forecast! We will pivot Carnival to the GYM in case of rain and send an update to all families if that is the case.
📸 Visit the Photo Booth! We'll have silly props available, but feel free to bring your own funny hats, glasses, costumes, or other goofy additions. The more props, the better!
💵 Don't forget cash! Snow cones, popcorn, and our always-popular Carnival Jail fundraiser will be available throughout the event.
🎉 Lü Interactive Playground LIVE DEMO! Our school is raising money for a Lü Interactive Playground — a high-tech, wall-sized interactive game system that makes learning fun and gets kids moving! Teachers and staff are SO excited. Stakeholder Presentation 5-5:30PM + Student and Family Demonstrations 5:30PM and onward. You won't want to miss it!
🙋 We still need a few volunteers! If you're able to help, please sign below. The spots highlighted in yellow are where we need the most support.
