Delavan High Celebrates “Small Town, Big Memories”
Delavan High School is revving up for this year’s annual Carnival on September 26, an event designed to bring together students, teachers, and the community for an evening of fun, food, and entertainment. This year’s theme, “Small Town, Big Memories,” highlights Delavan’s extensive history, with each class embracing a different decade through themed food booths and performances. With preparations underway, students work tirelessly to prepare nostalgic memories for their community to enjoy.
Carnival is a unique and cherished experience for the people at Delavan. Each year, the high school is lit with commotion and liveliness as students take charge of food booths, auctions and classic carnival games—in an effort to raise money for their class trips. However, this event is more than a fundraiser; it is an opportunity to bring together our community with a yearly tradition. Parents, children, and neighbors all come together to enjoy food, win prizes, and fuel school pride.
This year’s theme, “Small Town, Big Memories,” is a phrase that captures the essence of Delavan’s history. Each class represents their given decades, ranging from the 1950s to the 1980s, and is tasked to bring the nostalgia to life. Whether it’s rock n’ roll from the ’50s or the groovy beats from the ’70s, Carnival promises an enjoyable and memorable experience for all ages. You can expect great things for this year’s event!
As the date approaches, anticipation for this beloved event continues to grow, with the community eager to see what Delavan’s students have in store. These students pour their creativity and energy into every detail, learning the values of teamwork, dedication, and patience along the way. So mark your calendars for Friday, September 26, and come celebrate the decades, the memories, and the tradition that make Delavan truly special! It’s a night you won’t want to miss!
