Our Mission
St. Mark UMC, St. Mark Day School, and the St. Mark Parent Committee will be hosting a Children's Carnival to raise funds for our Day School Parent Committee Board. This will allow families and children to support the school they have come to know and love, as well as, to aide in its future success. This was a group effort thanks in huge part to the wonderful Parent Committee, whose goal is to ensure the happiness, joy, and success in our children. Not only is this a wonderful opportunity to raise funds for this incredible school, but it also provides such an extremely exciting event for our youth and their families. We look forward to making this event a huge success that we can continue in the years to come at St. Mark Day School. Join us in helping to make this event fun and full of wonderful memories for everyone!
What to Expect
This will be a rain or shine event! Your entry bands include so much fun for our youth, and it's for such a great cause. You can expect to enjoy the day with your family by grabbing lunch from the food truck or gelato from the gelato truck. Your entry wrist band will include face painting, pony rides, the jump castle, balloon art, a dunk tank, and so much more. There will be no additional tickets required for the event this year. The wrist bands will cover everything except the food truck, gelato truck, popcorn, and popsicles. The items will be based on their own pricing. Electronic payments via our Venmo account will be the only form accepted for attending and enjoying the event, as well as the purchase of the popcorn and popsicles during the event (no cash transactions will be accepted). We will have quite a few sponsors to thank for seeing to the success of this event, and we are so extremely grateful for each and every one of them. This would not have been made possible without their help and belief in our school and its Parent Committee. We would love for you to join us for this thrilling experience and for the school's second carnival fundraiser. Last year, it proved to be a children's fan favorite, and this year will be even better!
​How to Pay
You may pay via the Venmo barcode provided to the right of this page. Venmo is the only form of payment that will be accepted this year. Cash will not be accepted at this event to minimize risk, provide efficiency, and reduce waiting time, so that you have more time to enjoy the carnival. Please make a note when payments are made, they are for the "Spring Carnival" and the "Qty of the wristbands" you are purchasing to reduce confusion of incoming payments for the parent committee.
​
If you would simply like to make a donation because you are unable to attend, please do so by submitting your donation payment through Realm or make a note that it is for "Parent Committee Donations" when submitting your payment through Venmo. You can also provide a check written to St. Mark United Methodist Church; however, checks will only be accepted for donation purposes. Checks are not an acceptable form of payment for the Carnival Entry Wrist Bands. All proceeds go directly to the St. Mark United Methodist Church Day School Parent Committee.
