Free Games · All Are Welcome

The George Watts Spring Carnival is one of our school's most beloved traditions — a few hours of games, music, food, and community that bring families, students, and neighbors together every year. This Saturday, we're doing it bigger and better than ever, and we couldn't be more excited to share what's in store.

What to expect

Join us on the school grounds this Saturday from 11 am to 2 pm for free carnival games, activity stations, live musical acts, and the much-anticipated GaGa Ball Tournament. Every student who wears their wristband (distributed this week!) will receive three free food item tickets — that's gourmet popcorn from The Mad Popper and more, on the house. Additional food tickets are available for $1 each.

And yes — there's a raffle with some seriously impressive prizes (more on those below).

A carnival made possible by our community

None of this would be possible without the extraordinary generosity of our local business sponsors. Their contributions are covering carnival infrastructure, games, and activity stations — meaning all games are free for families to enjoy. Please take a moment to learn about these wonderful businesses and show them some love!

A few things to know before you go

The Tobacco Road Relay will be crossing Main St. south of the school on Saturday. Roads directly adjacent to George Watts are not affected, but it's worth checking the race route ahead of time to plan your arrival.

Volunteers are still needed, especially from 12:30–2 pm — sign-ups are open! And if you can swing by the gym on Friday after school to help sort prizes and games, the carnival team would love an extra pair of hands.
