Download the Shopping Form
It can be hard to let your little ones shop on their own, so to help teachers, parents, and older students guide them, we’ve provided the form below. Please send it in with your child so helpers can make sure they find the presents they need.
We Need Elves to Help the Kids Shop
We’re looking for volunteers to help students as they shop for their gifts. Even a little bit of time is a big help. If you’re available for a shift—or more—we would love to have you. Your support makes this experience special for our students.
