Kramer PTG- Carnival Information
Kramer Carnival is back this year! The PTG is excited to host the carnival on Saturday, September 30, 2023, 12PM to 3PM at Kramer. We hope to see all our students & their families there. Save time and avoid the line! Purchase your Kramer Carnival tickets and wristbands early and start enjoying the Carnival right away!
The Kramer Carnival raises money to support educational opportunities and field trips for all Kramer kids. The PTG needs a lot of support from our PTG members to have a successful Carnival. There are a number of ways that you can get involved with Carnival to help ensure a fun day for Kramer families:
Each grade level puts together a grade level basket for the silent auction. Consider donating to the grade level raffle baskets Grade Level Gift Basket Information

We also need volunteers to set up & help run the Carnival. You can volunteer the night before to help setup, the day of Carnival for setup or 1.5 shifts during the Carnival. It's an easy & fun way to help out! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080B4DAEA62AA7FC1-20231#/

Drop-Off and Pick-Up Procedures
Thank you to our facilities director, Mr. Hubbard, for helping us get the line striping company to stop by Kramer and add the lanes for pickup at the end of the day. The lines have been helpful and we’ve been able to ease the congestion of Sycamore Street. Please remember when exiting Kramer, that you turn right onto Sycamore Street. Turning left backs up the line and slows down the process.
If you need a card for your vehicle, please let us know. We will be happy to provide you with a card for your dashboard. If you can add the grade level of your car riders, that will help Mrs. Eckerle when she is calling out the names.
