Carnival

Every year, the PTA sets aside 80% of the net profits generated by its Carnival to be used by Travis teachers, instructors, and staff who directly work with children.  This means that every eligible employee at Travis can claim funds for their classroom or work space.  Contact our Carnival Captain to learn more.
