Chapelle Carnival was a huge success

I want to thank Chapelle PBA President Taura Cheatham for inviting me out to the Annual Chapelle Carnival. More than 400 folks turned out for the event as people walked shoulder to shoulder down the hallway.

It was a great time across the board as people enjoyed games, face-painting, cotton candy and snow cones, raffles, and lots of prizes! Birthday girl Mauricia Schofield (who turned 8 on the day of the carnival) chose a custom paint job on her left cheek.

It was a bitter-sweet time for lots of folks, however, as this marked the last carnival at Chapelle before the school closes at the end of the school year. Still, the kids, parents and other community members who came out didn't let that ruin their fun, including one of the most popular items at the fair, the giant inflated obstacle course.

Principal Joe Guillen had fun announcing the winners of the raffles over the PA system as he sported his "Chapelle Community Schools" t-shirt.

Here are a few other sights from what people called the final Chapelle Carnival.
