Holiday Shop Volunteers
The holidays are coming and we want to help make the season even more special for your children by giving them the opportunity to shop (in secret!) for the perfect gift for Mom, Dad, grandparents, siblings, and other important people and pets in their lives.
The Holiday Shop will run December 5th-December 9th during school hours with set up scheduled for Friday, December 2.
We need lots of help for this special event and are looking for volunteers to help the students shop & wrap gifts, run the cash register, and replace low inventory. The Holiday Shop will be open from 8:15am - 10:45am & 1:15pm-3:00pm Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday and on Wednesday 8:15am-10:45am & 1:00pm-1:45pm.
Please consider helping us! The students love to shop and their excitement will certainly get you into the holiday spirit. Click Here to Volunteer
