Good morning,
 
It is that time again for our annual HOLIDAY SHOP!!!
 
This is the time where our Students get to shop for those special (inexpensive) Holiday Gifts for Family, and Friends and they have a great time doing so.
 
The PTA needs Volunteers!
 
The Shop will run from Monday Dec 3 - Dec 7 from 9:45- 3:45.
 
We need volunteers to work whatever hours you can during this time. If you can come for 1 hour, 2 hours, entire day, or the entire week, we need you to just come out and help.
 
**This is the PTA's busiest time of the year (with the exception of the Spring Fling), and this is the time where ALL the students participate. All 750+ of them so, we really need whatever volunteer assistance we can get.
 
If you work during the day but will have a day off during that week, please come out and volunteer your time.
 
If it sounds as if I am BEGGING, then I am because as I stated, all 750+ students participate in this shopping event so we need all the help we can get.
 
How the Holiday shop works is:
•       We receive gift items from Fun Services the week prior to the shop so, we will need a few volunteers that Friday November 30  to help get the shop prepared for Monday by placing all the gifts on tables by prices. The shop will look just like a local Wal-Mart once set up! lol
•       The students will begin coming in per classroom, starting at 9:45 and each class will have about 30 minutes to shop. Most of them will already have an envelope with cash or check and have marked on the envelope who he/she needs to shop for and how much to spend. Volunteers will be walking around with the students assisting them in purchasing gifts within the dollar amount they have available.
•       We will need at least 5 volunteers each day to assist student with their purchases
•       We will need at least 2-3 volunteers a day to gift wrap the students purchases
 
Bottom-line, we will need at least 6 volunteers throughout the day, each day for one week.
 
 
So please if you can, let me know no later than Nov 28. Also tell me what days and time you will be avaiablel to volunteer and with this info, I will then make up a schedule of volunteers and forward that info to each of you.
 
Thanks for your continued support,
