3rd Annual
SeaStar Shuffle
Our biggest fundraiser. Our biggest celebration.
Carolina Beach Elementary comes together for one of our favorite CBES traditions: the Sea Star Shuffle!
This year, we’re shifting to FALL!
SAVE THE DATE:
Friday, November 13th
The Shuffle is our primary annual fundraiser a fun-filled school-wide event where our students run laps around Mike Chappell Park while teachers, families, and our community cheer them on.
But the Sea Star Shuffle is about so much more than running.
It's about school spirit, healthy movement, community, and giving our students opportunities to learn, explore, and shine
Families get to cheer on their Sea Stars.
Teachers and staff get to celebrate their students.
We have opportunities for families, friends and our local business community to invest directly in the school and the children who call Carolina Beach home.
