Our Holiday Shoppe at Wixom Elementary is quickly approaching, this is one of our most popular events and we need your help to make this happen. The Holiday Shoppe is a store that allows our students to purchase and wrap gifts for the whole family this holiday season. We have a variety of gifts to choose from with prices ranging from .50-$10. Our volunteers will help the students select items to purchase, work the cash register and help wrap their items. Each class will have the opportunity to shop during their scheduled time and we will also be open during conferences on 12/12/24. Hope to see you there! Happy Holidays!

Wixom has a long tradition of supporting families for the Holidays. This year, we want to provide families with Holiday support by collecting gift cards from various stores to give to families so they can shop for their children and feel a sense of excitement and support. The Snow Angels Program provides us with the opportunity to help make the holidays special.

It is as simple as the following steps:

1. While you are out shopping pick up a gift card for any increment. (Target, Walmart, Meijer, Kroger)

2. Drop the gift cards off at Wixom by December 9th.

3. The week of December 9th families will be contacted to pick up gift cards.
