What is Carnival?
The Woodlawn Carnival is our inaugural evening of family fun and community celebration, where we gather with the extended Woodlawn community to raise funds and support our school. We would love for you to join us for a fun-filled evening filled with carnival games, delicious food, entertainment, and magical experiences for the whole family. The evening will feature classic carnival attractions, live entertainment, food vendors, prize games, and so much more.
As an independent school and a non-profit organization, Woodlawn School relies on philanthropic support to provide an exceptional and innovative learning environment. Tuition covers 90% of the school’s annual budget, and the ‘Blazer Fund, Woodlawn’s annual giving campaign, makes up the difference with donations from parents and the greater Woodlawn community.
The Carnival serves as one of the school’s major fundraising events. All carnival profits go to the ‘Blazer Fund to help reach the 2025/26 goal of $300,000. Your support helps Woodlawn in providing an intentional, innovative, and purposeful educational experience that is the hallmark of our project-based learning approach; improving the technology infrastructure of our campus; enhancing student health and wellness programs; and providing professional development opportunities to support our faculty.
To learn more about Woodlawn’s culture of philanthropy and how you can make an impact on future-ready educational experiences, contact Seana Peele.
