"The world is hugged by the faithful arms of volunteers." 
~Terri Guillemets

Santa Secret Shop
Next week is the Santa Shop!  Please visit the link below  to preview the shop's offerings.  For the younger grades, please do your best to have the gifts identified and the proper monetary amount given to the child. This allows for a smoother shopping experience.  This year, we will have a jar available to collect the change (coins only) from the sale.  All coins collected will be donated to the next Change for Charity recipient.  This is completely voluntary, so let your child know if they are allowed to donate.

If you have any questions or want to volunteer with this event, please contact Gina Koertner at   ginakoertner@yahoo.com
