Up in the Air at the SHS 2023 Carnival

Newtown Shows returned to Scarsdale High School for the annual carnival on Friday April 28 and Saturday April 29. The main attractions were the large carnival rides which seem to get bigger and more daunting each year. We founds kids high in the air and screaming in delight on the Super Round Up, the Rock Star and Pharoah’s Fury with younger children enjoying gentler rides below. There was food, arcade games and creative offerings from high school clubs.

Fortunately the rain held off to allow the community to enjoy the fun.

Here are comments from Assistant Principal Andrea O’Gorman.

“The SHS Carnival was a wonderful success. The event is organized by the central School Government, with each class government hosting one of the aspects of the event from preparing and selling food to offering games and activities, including the always popular Dunk Tank!

Many of our student clubs offered additional activities including face painting, flower sales, arts and crafts and even the opportunity to play with a remote controlled robot.

All proceeds from the Carnival are donated to charity with this year's funds going to the World Wildlife Fund, the Paulie Strong Foundation and Lifting up Westchester. We are grateful to the many community members who came out to support our mission of Non Sibi or Not For Oneself Alone.
