New this year: a sustainable carnival
Each participant will receive a "passport". Instead of tokens, passports will be stamped at game stations. When a completed passport is brought to the prize station that child will receive one BIG prize. We are trying to eliminate the use of "landfill" prizes. There will be one prize station for children up to second grade and another prize station for children in second through sixth grades. As always we welcome donations of new games, toys, books and stuffed animals for use as prizes at our Purim Carnival.
