Classroom Basket Raffle
One of the biggest attractions at the carnival each year is the classroom basket raffle. Each VPE class creates a themed basket with items donated by students and their families. Before and during the carnival, families can purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win a basket. All money raised supports VPE PTO fundraising efforts.
For the 2026 Fall Carnival, room parents coordinated with classroom families to collect donations for the class's themed basket. Classroom baskets can get competitive! Students loved seeing their baskets come together and watching their class create something special. View the 2026 Carnival Raffle Basket Winners
