Friday, October 24 6:30 pm to 8 pm at Mt. Pilchuck Elementary. Volunteers are critical to the success of this event as the Costume Carnival is one of the PTA's most participated in Family Fun Nights!
Students and their families wear costumes (that do not cover the face) and participate in carnival-style games and activities to earn candy and other prizes. Students must be accompanied by an adult.
