Following the meeting, we will have a Carnival 101 Meeting. If you are new to Wilchester or have not yet attended a Carnival, then this meeting is for you. You'll be feeling like a Carnival pro in no time. Even if you have attended in the past, this year's team is hard at work bringing another great Carnival to Wilchester for our kids, so don't miss out on learning more about the Carnival and how you can get involved in making sure we have a great event for our kids!
Please make sure to RSVP by 5pm on the 27th to expedite the check-in process. Nametags for those staying for the meeting will be located outside the cafeteria. Even if you walk your child to class first, you will still need a nametag to stay in the building to attend the meeting.
