  Meredith Holiday Shop Returns!
  December 12th – 16th
  VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
  The HSA and SAC are excited to bring back the Meredith Holiday Shop from December 12th (setup)-16th, to provide students in Grades K-5 an opportunity to purchase small gifts for loved ones independently while also practicing math skills. Gifts will range in price from about $1 to $5. Prices will be rounded up to the nearest dollar to keep shopping simple and accessible. Once all Holiday Shop costs are covered, any overage from rounding will be donated to the HSA Annual Fund.
  How You Can Help: Volunteers are needed each day of this event to set up and keep the Shop stocked, help children select small gift items for family members, take payments, and pack up purchases in gift bags. Visit Signup.com to volunteer and for more information.
