VOLUNTEER:
BOOK FAIR: Volunteers Needed! We will need many parent volunteers during all parts of the fair, including set-up, pack-up, and our Family Night on Thursday, November 20. Pizza will be provided for dinner on Monday, November 17 for those who come to help distribute boxes from the pallets. If you are able to volunteer, please sign-up HERE. Volunteers will be entered into a drawing for a $25 Amazon gift card. Each volunteer slot lists any classes that will be coming during that time so that you can choose times when your child(ren) will be there.

Elementary School Parents please be aware of the following:
Children are welcome to purchase for one person or several people but please keep in mind they have 20 minutes total to shop.

Younger grades will have assistance from a shopping buddy to help them select gifts during their classroom’s dedicated shopping time.
-
The price range is $2 to $8. Please send small bills in an envelope with your child. We are able to make change but appreciate $1 and $5 bills.

This list should be used to indicate who they will be shopping for, how much they wish to spend and a recommended gift category.

Please remember to send a shopping bag with handles. Please label the bag with your child’s name and homeroom.
Jr High Parents:
In place of the Children’s Christmas Sale, Jr. High students are invited to attend the 2nd Annual Junior High Christmas Social! Passes are now available for purchase and include a photo booth photo, snacks, 3 DIY crafts that can be given as gifts, karaoke, and a really good time.
