Going through the carnival's haunted house is a "rite of passage" for La Madera sixth graders, said PTA volunteer Marcia Langstaff.
Attendees can also peruse the school's annual Silent Auction, one of the PTA's major fundraisers. Volunteers have put together a variety of gift baskets on which families are encouraged to bid, organizers said.
