🎁 Holiday Shop – It’s Almost Here!

Friday, December 12th

The Stevens PTA is thrilled to bring back one of our most beloved traditions—the Holiday Shop! On Friday, December 12th, students will have the opportunity to independently shop for special holiday gifts for their loved ones. All items are handmade by local crafters, thoughtfully curated, and priced with families in mind.

This is a wonderful chance for students to experience the joy of giving, practice decision-making, and take pride in selecting something meaningful all on their own—with support from teachers and PTA volunteers.

🎄 How the Holiday Shop Works

• Each class receives a 30-minute shopping time during the school day.
• Students may purchase up to 5 gifts for family members.
• All items are priced between $2.00 and $5.00.
• Cash only, please. We recommend sending no more than $25.
• Students will also have the option to have gifts wrapped on site.

This week, students will bring home a Holiday Shop envelope. Inside, you’ll find:

• A place to create their shopping list
• Gift tags to label in advance
• Instructions for preparing for the big day

Please return the envelope, pre-labeled gift tags, and cash with your child on Friday, December 12th. It’s also helpful to send your child to school with a bag so they can safely bring their treasures home!
