Giftmart Toyshop
This year we will be once again collecting toys for under-resourced families in Indian Prairie School District 204!
By invitation, parents and/or guardians are invited to the Giftmart Toyshop where they can purchase new toys for $2.00 per toy. 100% of the proceeds made from the sale of each toy will be donated back to each invited school to fund much needed resources.
Please consider donating a new, unwrapped toy that is safe for children ages 6-12. No stuffed animals or board games, please. There will be a Giftmart Toy Box located inside of Metea and Waubonsie Valley High Schools, Granger, Crone, Gregory and Fischer Middle Schools, and in Cowlishaw, Fry, Graham, Georgetown, Gombert, Kendall, May Watts, McCarty, Owen, Patterson, Petterson, Welch, and Young Elementary Schools from November 6th – December 6th.
Thank you for your generosity and participation!
