Pinchbeck Fall Carnival is the PTA's largest event of the year.   It takes more than 275 volunteers to make this event a success. We are asking each Pinchbeck family to be a part of the volunteer team for at least an hour. Middle and high school siblings, as well as friends of Pinchbeck, are also welcome to volunteer (this is a great way to obtain community service hours). Volunteers are needed 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM for set-up, station and game hosts, and clean-up. For Volunteer sign-up, please visit: www.SignUpGenius.com/go/10C0C49A4AB2FABFC1-pinchbecks/1917746

How we did the contest:
All of the students were given one minute to practice. After the practice period, on the word "go", all of the students began to hula hoop. If a student's hoop touched the floor, the student had to sit down inside the circle of the hoop until we had a winner. All students who were still hula-hooping after 90 seconds were declared the winners.
