THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Our carnival was a HUGE success, thanks to all of you!!!!    We raised over $15,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Thanks to all of you, for spending your money and volunteering your time!!!   Our PTO budget will be well-supported next year!

 
Thank you Dawn Thaman and your Carnival Team for an absolutely fun, family filled Carnival. It was a terrific event. Friends of all ages celebrated together, and supported our Maple Dale community. The entire week focused on our community with the children bringing in food for those in need, and writing thank you notes to the "behind the scenes" Maple Dale staff.

The Carnival could only be this successful with dedicated volunteers. We thank all of you. Our families solicited support from the community for Bid and Buy items and sponsors, set up the Carnival and took it down, made baked goods, hosted Great Gatherings, and participated fully!

The Carnival Team ran seamlessly with Dawn's leadership. Brian Gath coordinated the fun games and great prizes with Dawn. Emily Stapleton coordinated volunteers. Kathy Mc Grath was our master presale ticket organizer. Anne Berg worked tirelessly on the Bid and Buy and provided us with a wonderfully well organized shopping fiesta! Vanessa Schafer and her team created incredible classroom baskets. There is always such excitement over the classroom basket raffle! Kari Crusius again led the way in online ticket sales and purchasing. It is awesome to have such efficiency and ease (and it saves LOTS of volunteer hours!) Larry Reiman led the set up, and take down of carnival. Ann and Derek Scranton managed the Food Court for their 5th, and last year! It was well staffed with our own boy scouts. So many hours, so much fun, and so much love go into Maple dale's carnival! There are so many more people who contribute hours of their time- Laura Davis,  Amy Jordan, Pam Mc Callen, Jeff Crusius, Shane Davis, Lisa Skinner.... Thank you all!
