The Waterville Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) recently hosted an unforgettable community carnival that brought smiles, laughter, and a whole lot of bouncing to our local families. With a gigantic fifty-foot bounce house as the centerpiece, courtesy of Tooney Looney Rentals from Skowhegan, the event was nothing short of spectacular.

A Day of Fun and Frolic

The carnival was a hit with games galore, including the ever-popular Frog Flipper game, generously donated by our neighbors at Educare. Children and adults alike were seen flipping frogs and scoring points, all in the spirit of good fun and community togetherness.

A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Volunteers

We couldn’t have pulled off such a successful event without the dedication of our amazing volunteers. A heartfelt thank you goes out to every single person who contributed their time and energy. Your efforts helped create a day filled with joy and community bonding.

Supporting Our Teachers and Students

The best part? All the funds raised from the carnival are set to fund grants for our teachers in September. These grants are crucial in enhancing the quality of education at our schools by providing extra resources and educational materials for all our wonderful students.
