What is Holiday Shoppe?
Holiday Shoppe is a PTA hosted event that allows the students an affordable option to get a small homemade gift for their loved ones. This year we really want the kids to do a lot of the crafting so we need help supervising, hosting and cheerleading those kiddos into crafting.
When is it?
Thanks to the generosity of the teachers and administrators, Holiday Shoppe will be hosted during school hours on Thursday, Dec 11, 2025. Each class will be allotted a certain amount of time to visit the shop to purchase gifts for their loved ones.
Who makes the products?
Parents, students and community members (Yay, Grandparents!) and sometimes local vendors. From those who do the advance work of making crafts to those who actually work the shoppe on the day of the Holiday Shoppe.
What can I do?
Come to a craft party! They're very fun and you will get to know so many other parents. Bring your child if you want and do the craft together. Volunteer to take some crafts home with you! We have take home kits from simple to complicated. Have your child help you with what you take home.
If you have two hands (or a 3D printer, a sewing machine, a hot glue gun, extra crafting supplies, etc), we want you. No special skills required!
Does it cost anything?
Thanks to PTA funding, the Holiday Shoppe is free for all students. Each student will receive a $10 credit to use at the store. They receive a shopping list ahead of time so they can start brainstorming who they would like to shop for.
Please sign up as a Committee Member if you're interested!
We need people to host parties, supervise crafts and request donations (and feel free to sign up for something specific if it's calling to you) but we'd love to include you on communications even if you're just interested in attending. Thank you!!
