He’s a Captain, Are you?
If you’ve ever had an urge to wear a captain’s suit, now is your chance!
If we’re going to have a Carnival next year we need to get our Carnival Captain spots filled! So please consider joining the awesome Carnival crew as a Team Captain! The best part of being a captain (besides the hat) is knowing you are making our school carnival possible and making a difference in our community. We’ve got an awesome crew of worker bees that will work on your team and many of the jobs have plans that you just need to follow. We need Captains for the following teams:
- Publicity/Marketing
- Setup/Cleanup
- Volunteers
- Supplies
- Booths
- Sponsorship/Donations
