This year we went with a different Holiday Shoppe company than the previous year. I found both advantages and disadvantages with this choice. While this year's company was much more flexible about accommodating students that were a little short on money and not overloading us with excessive boxes of merchandise, some of their items seemed overpriced.
Our volunteers worked very hard and were a tremendous asset when it came to ensuring that the Shoppe ran smoothly. We couldn't provide this experience for our students without them, and I am truly grateful for their help!
We did our best to help your child(ren) make good choices while shopping. Of course, we wanted the choices to be theirs, so please keep that in mind if dad ended up with a monkey splat ball! =)
Most importantly, we shared the true spirit of Christmas -- the joy of giving -- with hundreds of little ones; they lit up while picking out gifts for their loved ones! Once again, thank you for supporting your children and CES school, staff, & the PTO!
We want to hear from you! What was your take on this year's Shoppe? Were you pleased with the gifts offered this year?
