Congratulations to the winners of the Jars of Chance. 
The students estimated how many items were in the jar to win a gift card. Each grade had a different jar of items. If more than one student had the same answer, names were drawn.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the 2019 Eden Lake Carnival a success! 

It was fun and rewarding to see all the smiling faces on carnival night!  So many people pitched in with donations of  chips, candy bars, pop, and silent auction items as well as financial donations.  

Thanks also to the huge number of people who volunteered in the weeks before the carnival and carnival night.  We could not do it without your support!

Thanks again to our entire Eden Lake Community.  We will see you in 2020!!

Today is the DAY!!

33rd Annual Eden Lake Carnival

Doors open at 5:30 PM!  The Carnival will run until 8:30 PM. 

Don't forget you can get dropped off right at the main door by riding a shuttle bus from the lower lot at Pax Christi Church starting at 5:15 pm and will run every 10-15 minutes.  The last bus will leave Eden Lake at 8:45 pm.  Due to the rain in the forecast, parking will be VERY limited at school.

You can purchase tickets and wristbands at the main entrance to school if you haven't already done so. Wristbands are $25 a piece, tickets are 25 cents each.  Please check your Carnival Booklet for more information on which venues are limited participation with a wristband.  Venues range between 1-10 tickets. 

Auction: There are over 150 items ready for you to bid on Friday night during Carnival in the Media Center. Items include: Fire Truck Ride to School, Golf passes, Principal for a Day, Restaurant certificates, Activity Baskets, Event Tickets, Breakfast with a teacher, Hand-crafted items and Much, Much, More!

Please remember this is a family event to support our school! 

Please respect our school property and the people around you during this busy and fun night!  We kindly ask that you save your pop, candy and food winnings to enjoy at home or in the cafeteria.

We will have lots of food in the Carnival Cafe for you to enjoy dinner or a sweet treat with your family!  Remember food and drinks are only eaten in the cafeteria.

Be sure to stop in the Media Center to bid on silent auction items. Also purchase your raffle tickets if you haven't already!  We will draw winners shortly after 8:00 PM!
