The students at CHIME Institute’s Schwarzenegger Community School, which has extensive ties to California State University, Northridge, invite their friends and neighbors to join them on a “California Adventure” at the school’s annual carnival on Saturday, April 13.

The carnival will feature a ferris wheel, midway games, music and performances by the school’s children and parents. The carnival is scheduled to take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the school located at 19722 Collier St. in Woodland Hills.

“The carnival provides us a wonderful opportunity to meet our neighbors, celebrate what we do and have some old-fashioned fun,” said Jennifer Lockwood, principal of the school.

Admission is $7. Most of the activity and food tickets will be available for 50 cents each. Proceeds from the carnival will support the school’s art, music and library programs.
