Bonjour,

Please find below:

• Special Parking & Planning Announcement
• Admission, Raffle, and Lunch Tickets Pre-Order Link

We highly recommend purchasing tickets online in advance to make the admission, lunch, and raffle process smoother on the morning of the event. Tickets will also be available for purchase upon arrival (in cash, or via payment form QR code, at the Carnival).

Our school carnival is much more than a celebratory event. It plays a crucial role in our community building and creates lasting memories for students. We encourage families to participate and help us rally volunteers to ensure the success and significance of this beloved end-of-year celebration.

Merci!
