More on Carnivals!

We blogged about PS 29's Friday night carnival yesterday, mainly because it sounded like fun and we've seen flyers posted everywhere in the neighborhood.  We saw the flyer above today and wanted to give PS 32 a shout out too!  They are having a spring carnival as well this Saturday day from 12pm-4pm, so if a carnival/festival sounds like fun and you'd rather go in the daytime this one's for you! We have such wonderful schools in our hood, mainly because of parent and community involvement.  These festivals are a great way to get out there and support our kids!

PS 29 Carnival

May 31st, this Friday, between 5pm and 8pm PS 29 is throwing a carnival celebration in it's schoolyard to welcome a new principal, Dr. Rebecca Fagin.  The amount of activities at this shindig are too many to list.  You'll probably be able to make them out on the flyer above.  Just know they'll have all the normal festivities, such as face painting and bouncy houses, plus a whole bunch of more unique activities such as a hair coloring station, hacky sack demonstration, and a fortune teller.  And food, of course, BBQ and snacks.  Should be a good time!

Touch-A-Truck this Weekend!

This is quite possible the coolest fundraiser we've ever heard of and even though it's a little out of our vicinity (South Slope) we had to share this because it looks worth the short subway or bus ride.  PS 295, which is on 18th Street between 6th and 7th avenues, is putting on "Touch-A-Truck".  It is exactly what it sounds like.  They'll have 25 vehicles that kids can climb in, including a school bus, garbage truck, ambulance and more! The operators will also be there to answer any questions. For more info check out this site.

Eat Pie and Shop is back.

We must admit it's a catchy title and makes you want to Eat Pie and Shop of course.  The holiday festival/PTA fundraiser for PS29 is back this year with their pie social, pie contest, gift fair, portrait taking, crafts, singing, face painting, and more.  For more info you can go to eatpieandshop.org.  Basic info is below.


Sunday, December 2nd between 11am and 4pm
425 Henry Street, PS29
