The holidays are just around the corner and this year we’re trying something new – a Holiday Gift Store! This will be run much like the book fair. An outside company has brought in items for the Holiday Store. Students (and parents) will be able to shop for gifts for family members and friends for the holidays. A flyer and envelope was sent home in last Thursday’s folder. You can decide with your child how much money he/she can spend for each person and enclose the money in the envelope. The Gift Store volunteers will look at each child’s envelope and help them to purchase gifts within their price range. Items range in price from $1.00 to $15.00.

6th grade families and Ms. Viera’s SDC class parents have been assigned to help with this event. If you are a parent in either 6th grade class or in Ms. Viera’s class and haven’t signed up for a shift in the gift store, please contact Bonnie Courtney-Rodriguez at bejrodriguez@yahoo.com. If you are not a parent in any of these classrooms, but would like to help out, you are also welcome to sign up.

Take a look at just a few of the items that the students will be able to purchase:
