Don’t forget to stop by the Holiday Gift Shop in Room 20 after school. The gift shop will be open starting today until Tuesday, December 17  for two hours each day after school (and from 4:30 – 6:00 on Friday). The Gift Store volunteers will help the children purchase gifts within their price range. Grown ups are welcome to shop too! Items range in price from $1.00 to $15.00.

If you are an 8th grade parent in either Ms. Elmore’s or Mr. Baretto’s class and haven’t signed up for a shift in the gift store, please contact Tracy DaCosta at tdacosta@rcsdk8.net. If you are not a parent in any of these classrooms, but would like to help out, you are also welcome to sign up.
