HOWELL — It's Senior Survivor season again at Howell Public Schools.

Details will be revealed during the Senior Survivor Carnival from 6-9 p.m. Friday, Aug. 19, in the HHS Field House. The carnival will have games, entertainment, arts and crafts, raffles, inflatables and more.

Admission for the carnival is $10 for ages 3-18, but free for adults and younger children. An adult must accompany students in eighth grade or below. All funds raised will support the goal of Senior Survivor.

The carnival will launch HPS into Senior Survivor Week, beginning Sunday, April 21, when 15 members of the Class of 2024 will arrive at HHS to compete. Each day, competitors will fundraise and take part in immunity and reward challenges.

The Howell Public Schools Senior Survivor Carnival is scheduled for 6-9 p.m. Friday, April 19.

The two students who turn in the least money daily will be eliminated and sent home. The student who turns in the most money on the last day of the competition will be named the winner.

This year, Senior Survivor is supporting Community Catalysts. Community Catalysts is a Howell-based nonprofit that provides quality and affordable housing and support services to seniors, veterans and homeless individuals. The charity was selected by members of the HHS Senior Class Student Council, said Senior Survivor Advisor Annie Brady.

“The (senior class) has been involved all year in events designed to raise money for the charity of their choice,” Brady said. Those fundraisers have included everything from open swim times at the high school to movie and trivia nights. “They do it all, from organizing the event and (marketing) it to determining what their profit is.”
