While many people are preparing to fill out basketball brackets, a different kind of March Madness is in the works at Northern Heights Elementary School.
On Saturday, March 19 from 5 to 7:30 p.m., Parents in Education (PIE) at Northern Heights Elementary School will be hosting a free carnival open to the community. Events include games, a cake walk and cake decorating contest, food and a fantastic raffle featuring the chance to win Disney park hopper passes, an iPOD touch and a get-away to Wolf Lake Lodge.
New this year is a "one price plays all night" wristband for all the games at March Madness. They are available presale only through March 16 by contacting the school at 691-2371.
In addition, if you would like to participate in the cake decorating contest, donate an item for the cake walk, or donate a raffle prize, please call the school office by March 18.
This is the PIE group's biggest fundraiser of the year and they encourage everyone to join them in a great evening of family fun.
