The Westside Carnival will feature numerous booths and games, activities, prizes, food trucks, and more! It's a fantastic opportunity for students and families to come together, enjoy themselves, and support a worthy cause.

 

By participating in the carnival, you'll not only have a blast, but you'll also be contributing to the Solomon Adult Transition Center, making a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals in our community.

We encourage you to spread the word and invite your friends, neighbors, and fellow community members to join us for this exciting event. Let's come together as a community to make a positive impact while having a great time!

 

Thank you for your support, and we look forward to seeing you March 23, 2024 from10am-2pm at Plano West Senior High Cafeteria and Courtyard.
