On Sunday May 19th, 2019, St. Anthony’s High School will once again host a Carnival for children with special needs and their families. The event will take place in the Student Center of St. Anthony’s High School from 1:00 to 4:00 PM.
The day will include inflatables, carnival games, dancing, face painting, bubbles, chalk, a variety of sports, a photo booth, a quiet coloring area and other appropriate activities for our guests. A late lunch/early dinner will also be provided. There is no cost to families, although donations are gratefully accepted online and at Check-In and are greatly appreciated to offset the cost of the day. We anticipate the event to be a fun day for the children as well as a learning experience for our St. Anthony’s students who are volunteering over the course of the day.
Each child will be matched up after Check-In with one of our student “Buddy” volunteers. Some things to note:
- No drop-offs allowed! An adult is required to stay at the event the whole time but may rest in the bleachers in the Student Center while the child is escorted around the event with the student Buddy volunteer.
- There is no age limit. All ages are welcome & we try to have activities for all ages & abilities.
- Siblings are welcome but are not guaranteed a Buddy or a t-shirt. Please do not register for siblings separately – just include them in the count of additional family members with the child with special needs.
- Event is rain or shine!
This year, we are again ONLY using an online registration form. Please direct anyone interested in the Carnival to our webpage and online registration form which can be found at:
Feel free to make as many copies as needed of the flyer for posting and attach the PDF to any website or email going out to your school or friends.

We look forward to another successful Carnival!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Laura Domanico – Carnival Coordinator
