ALL HANDS ON DECK!

The MSS Carnival has been a tradition for over 40 years. All net proceeds directly benefit Mother Seton School. Our Carnival Committee, led by Terry Smith, Shelly Smalls, and John Dowling, spend hours and hours organizing and planning. We are asking our families, alumni, and friends to be our heroes and please give a few hours of time to help during Carnival Week. The more volunteers we have, the less work for everyone overall!

Opportunities to be a Hero:

Setup will take place on Saturday, May 23rd beginning at 9am and continuing as long as volunteers can stay! Setup will continue on Wednesday, May 27th at 3pm depending on how much can be done on Saturday.

Various Carnival Stands, nightly 6pm-10pm: Bingo, Sandwich Grill, Funnel Cakes, Drinks, Pit Beef, French Fries, Dishwashing, Check-in, and Door monitoring. Volunteers will receive meal tickets.

Cleanup and Tear Down: Kitchen cleanup begins as soon as the last attendee leaves on Saturday night, generally around 11pm. We complete clean up on Sunday morning starting around 9:00am. The more people on hand to help, the less time we will be there getting everything cleaned and taken down!

Sign up today to help make the MSS Carnival as fun and successful as possible! (COMING SOON!)

We are also seeking assistance in offsetting some of the costs associated with running the carnival. Please check out this list of needed items and sign up to donate one or more. Every bit helps! Items can be dropped off in the cafeteria by Thursday, May 21. If you would like to have items shipped direct to school, send them to Mother Seton School, Attn: Carnival, 100 Creamery Rd, Emmitsburg, MD 21727.
