Classrooms Fill with Carnival Games at Oakdale Elementary

The Oakdale Elementary School Parent-Teacher Organization put on a carnival for the school's families Friday.

Kids tossed beanbags, rings and even toilet paper for prizes Friday at the Parent-Teacher Organizaton's carnival.

Classrooms and the school's gym were filled with a wide variety of carnival games including Plinko—as seen on The Price is Right—a lollipop tree and a basketball toss. They could also get their faces painted and crazy hairdos in all shapes and colors in the fundraising event.

There was also a book room where kids could take two free books, to encourage reading.
