🎡 Aldrich PTO Carnival 2025

The Aldrich PTO Carnival is one of our biggest fundraisers of the year—and one of the most fun nights for our school community! Join us for an evening filled with games, food, prizes, and memories for the whole family.

📅 Event Details

• Date: Friday, September 26, 2025

• Time: 5:30–8:00 p.m.

• Location: Aldrich Elementary School
  
  

Children will need a wristband to enjoy the games and activities. Purchase them for younger/older siblings, friends and family. Raffle tickets give you the chance to win exciting prizes!

👉 All wristbands and raffle tickets purchased online were sent home with your student. No need to print or bring anything from email.

🎟️ Wristbands & Raffle Tickets

• Wristbands (required for games/activities): Give your child unlimited play throughout the night.

• Raffle Tickets (optional): Enter for a chance to win exciting prizes like:

  • 4 tickets to see the Jonas Brothers (donated by Amanda Hall Family)

  • Olympic Day picnic for 8 (donated by the PTO)

  • Gift card bundle + Aldrich Swag! $50 to PITCH Coal-Fire Pizzeria, $50 to Flagship Commons, and $50 to Omaha Prime. PLUS, 2 Aldrich t-shirts and 2 Aldrich koozies made by our very own Mrs. Hospodka!

How the raffle works:

1. Write your name and phone number on the back of each ticket, or return to claim your winning ticket with the corresponding half of the ticket that you keep.

2. Drop your ticket in the bin for the prize you want (bins will be near the front doors).

3. Winners will be announced on the PTO Facebook page and in the Friday newsletter.

💖 Volunteers Make the Carnival Possible

Our Carnival runs on volunteer power, and we’d love your help!

• Two shifts are available so you’ll still have time to enjoy the event.

• Older students (ages 14+) are welcome to volunteer—we especially love seeing former All Stars return to help!
