VL Holiday Shop
Hello VL Families!
Our VL PTA Holiday Shop is right around the corner from Wednesday, December 14th - Friday, December 16th. Your child's teacher will be sending information regarding the date your child's class is signed up to visit the Holiday Shop.
Our Holiday Shop will enable children to purchase their own special holiday gifts for family and friends. The gifts range in price (affordable selections) and children enjoy making decisions and learning about economics. There are great items for anyone on their list, including licensed sports products, jewelry and other fun gifts.
An informational flyer and gift list planner/money envelope will be coming home with your child this week. Please use the money envelope to write down the items your child is looking to purchase and send cash in the envelope for them to shop!
Attached you will find a product list with pricing.
Parent volunteers are greatly needed to help with set up, running the shop and gift wrapping. We realize the holiday season is a busy time for everyone, but we would appreciate your support. Please see the sign-up link below for dates/times to volunteer!
