The 2008 Jack-O-Lantern Jamboree is Approaching Fast

Mark your calendar now and plan to attend the Evansville
K-5 PTO’s Jack-O-Lantern Jamboree on Saturday, October 18th from 6-8 P.M. in the Grove Campus Field House. This year’s carnival is sure to be a fun family event featuring many carnival games, the ever popular bounce houses, haunted houses, face painting, the Cobweb Café, a Raffle and a pumpkin decorating contest. New this year is the Cupcake Walk!

The Jack-O Lantern Jamboree is the K-5 PTO’s largest fund-raiser. Funds raised support Evansville’s elementary and intermediate schools. In the past, proceeds from the event have been used to purchase classroom and playground equipment and to help fund the After School Club. In addition, these funds help make possible other PTO events, including the Kindergarten play date, the Book Swap and the He and Me Breakfast.

Parents and community members, we need your help to ensure the success of Jack-O-Lantern Jamboree ’08. Over 120 of you dedicated volunteers are needed to help us run this event. If you are able to volunteer your time, please contact Brenda Roth at 757-9339.

You can show your support for our children and teachers in at least three other ways. The PTO is seeking Event Sponsors, Game Sponsors and Raffle Donations. Event Sponsors will be recognized in advertisements and other media publicizing the event. Game Sponsors and Raffle Donors will be recognized the night of the event. If you or your business would like to become an Event Sponsor, a Game Sponsor, or make a contribution to this year’s Raffle, please contact Mary Ann Zelmanski at 608-295-0096.

More detailed information about the Raffle and the pumpkin decorating contest will be sent home with your elementary and intermediate school child(ren) in the coming weeks.
