Help Wanted: Pioneer Day Volunteers

Hello!  We are only a little more than two weeks away from the much anticipated Pioneer Day, and we are SO EXCITED!  Our wonderful Pioneer Day committee has already been hard at work planning this special day, but we still need a lot of volunteers to make this day successful.  Please see the note below about the help that is needed--and please consider volunteering to help with this day. Thank you!  


Many of you have heard about the fun-filled Pioneer Day held each year in May for all of the third grade students at Carmel Elementary.  It is a day when our children experience pioneer life through various hands-on activities.  A few of these fun activities include making pioneer crafts, handling antique tools, learning in a pioneer school house, preparing food, square dancing, and listening to a story teller and a fiddler.  This event will be held from 8-2:30 on Friday, May 12th.

To make this day as exciting and memorable as possible for our children, we need many volunteers.  There are many ways to help out.  We need  help both the night before with set up and the day of Pioneer Day supervising activities; we also will need some donations.  Please follow the links below to volunteer. 

If you are willing to volunteer your time on Pioneer Day or the night before with set-up, please sign up here:

If you are willing to donate food items, please sign up here.


This day will be a great way to finish off the school year for our third graders!!  Thanks for your help and support!
