Choudrant Elementary School

We are excited about Fall Carnival tonight from 5-7pm! The carnival will not open until 5pm. A few reminders: Parking is available on front playground, back teacher's parking lot, St. Rest Church parking lot, and on ONE side of Walker Road and Choudrant High School. Squire Creek will run a shuttle back and forth from the CHS to the carnival. There are signs to designate the pick up spot. There will be no parking on Hwy 80 or in the front of the school in carline. We will have carline blocked off because of games and the petting zoo. Concessions will take tickets and be sold in the teacher's lounge. We will have hot dogs, frito pies, popcorn, chips, and drinks. Kona Ice will be here as well set up in the front of the school. We are looking to a very fun evening. No school tomorrow.

Parents, Please see CES carnival information attached for our carnival on Monday, Nov. 7 5-7pm. I also want to thank Coach Stoehr and the Lady Techsters for coming out to see our students as they promoted their Education game on Nov. 10 that our 3rd grade students will be attending. https://5il.co/1k8r9
