Pioneer Day

Hello!  We are only four 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 need a lot of volunteers to make this day successful.  Please see the note below from our Pioneer Day committee--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 the third grade students at Carmel Elementary.  It is a day when our children experience pioneer life, as it was in the past, through various hands on activities.  A few of these include making pioneer crafts (yarn dolls, marble bags, and quilt squares), handling antique tools and washing clothes, 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 15th.

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 the night before with set up, the day of supervising activities, or at home pre-assembly of  the craft kits we use on Pioneer Day.  Please follow the links below to volunteer.
