Carnival sounds, smells and scenes will grace the grounds of Rowell’s Park this weekend in celebration of Key Largo School’s 50th year.
Former and current administrators, teachers and students gathered outside KLS in January to recognize the school’s growth since it opened on Jan. 19, 1972. Students from various grades read poems in recognition of the school’s 50th anniversary. Former administrators spoke on how the school helped shape the community, and students gave Principal Darren Pais envelopes containing items for their school’s time capsule.
Now, families and school staff will come together on Saturday, March 5 for a day of rides, food booths, games and more. Originally planned for January, the carnival was pushed back a few months due to rising COVID-19 cases. Organized by the Key Largo School Parent Teacher Association, the carnival invites the community to partake in the fun.
“This carnival would not be possible without our amazing sponsors and the always reliable Key Largo School families, teachers and staff. We hope to have a large turn out from the community,” said Allison Conover, KLS PTA treasurer.
Admission is $5 per person. Children 3 and under are free. Ride bracelets may be purchased at the gate for $20 (that includes admission). Ride bracelets will be good for unlimited rides, which include the mega fun zone, swings, super sonic, crocodile slide, tubs of fun, meltdown and a toddler zone.
Tickets will be sold for the Rock Wall, 4-way bungee station, ponies, Zorbs race track and games. Information booths, vendor booths and food booths will be on site. Thunder Country 100.3 will be live onsite from 1-3 p.m. and a DJ from 1-5 p.m.
The carnival is a cash-only event; automated teller machines will be onsite.
