Saint Johns CHRISTmas gift shop

St. John’s
CHRISTmas GIFT SHOP
Here’s what you need to know!
When: December 8th and 9th
Where: The Hallway of the New Gym
Who: All St. John’s students will have a chance to shop for gifts for their family! This is a great opportunity for the kids to be involved in the season of giving.
How: Here’s how it works:
1. Talk with your children about who to buy for and how much money they will have to send. Gift items range from $.25-$6.00

2. Fill out the envelope by putting a checkmark next to the people for whom your children will be shopping for as well as the total dollar amount you are sending in. Also fill out a name next to each one checked so we know who to address the gift too! If there is money left over it will be sent back home with the child in the envelope or you can write donation on the envelope and we’ll put what’s left in the PTO fund.

3. We will have Shopper Helpers to assist the children (especially the younger ones). The children will only be allowed to shop for those people on the list that have been selected. The Shopper Helpers will make sure that everyone who is on the list gets a gift.

4. Every gift will be wrapped and tagged to say who it is for.

5. Remember to send your money with your child on Dec. 8th or 9thth. Teachers can collect envelopes early if you prefer. They will be shopping during class – see attached schedule. Cash is preferable, however, if a check is sent please make it out to St. John’s PTO. Again, if the child does not spend the full amount change will be sent home or donated to PTO if specified.

6. If we have items left the shop will be open after school on the 9th and students may shop for whomever they like. Preschoolers are welcome to come then as well. The shop will also be open during RE time on the 9th.
7. We need VOLUNTEERS! We need gift wrappers and shopper helpers. You can sign up on the St. John’s website http://school.saintjohns.net or on the bulletin board in the front office. This is a really fun time to interact with the St. John’s children, earn volunteer hours, and get to know some other parents.
