Sacajawea's 2026 Spring Carnival

The Spring Carnival is a fun, annual event! This Family Fun Night and Fundraiser includes lots of games, prizes, and even bounce houses! The Raffle and Silent Auction raise money for PTA-supported learning and enrichment programs. And the Snack Shack raises money for the 5th grade's Class of 2026.

This is a really fun event! Many other school PTAs in the area no longer hold an annual Carnival, so be sure to invite other families!

Here is the basic Carnival overview: 

Cost: 

• Admission is FREE, but games and food items require tickets.

• Game/Snack tickets are 50¢ each. Raffle tickets are $1 each.

• If you plan to eat dinner and play games, expect to spend $25-30 per child.

• If you need additional tickets as the evening goes on, ticket stations will remain open during the event. 

• Bring some cash just in case! Cash will get you through the ticket line the fastest! And the Snack Shack and food vendors take cash!

• If you're using a credit or debit card, prices include a convenience fee. 

Games: 

• Games require 1-2 tickets. 

• There are more than 15 game and craft stations.

Food: 

• There will be several food options.  

• Beverages will be available through the Snack Shack. 

• Dessert items: We'll have shaved ice available for purchase again this year! And you can try your luck in the Cake Walk! 

Game Prizes: 

• Game participants get a prize for each game. 

• Other stations like the Cake Walk, Tattoo station, craft stations, and Inflatable activities are separate. These don't have a prize. 

Raffle & Silent Auction Items 

• We have an amazing array of Raffle items this year (See list below)!
