CHRISTMAS SHOP
HOW IT WORKS
The FoSA Christmas Shop will give students the opportunity to look at a range of items and buy gifts for parents/caregivers, siblings, grandparents, and even their pets “in secret” (no parents allowed!) on Friday, 25th November.
This will be set up in the School Sports Hall. Volunteers, Gappies and Year 8 mentors will help younger children choose gifts and work within their budgets. There will be a max budget of £10 per student with gifts ranging in price from £2 to £5 – meaning every child can buy one or several gifts depending on what they choose. All items will be gift wrapped and labelled – ready to gift on the holiday gift giving day of your family’s choosing.
What we need are donations of new/unused items that are suitable for gifting. These can be new items you no longer want or items in your regift closet at home. You do not have to buy new items to donate. Items can include toys or games, health and beauty items for kids and/or adults, gadgets for kids and adults alike, puzzles (books or jigsaws), arts and craft supplies, unwanted gift vouchers, accessories like new handbags, wallets, purses or belts, silly socks, silly or nice ties, selection boxes of chocolate or biscuits, tea sets or coffee mugs– the possibilities are endless! It does mean some kids will grab a bargain, but it’s all for a good cause! The Christmas Shop will even welcome gifts for pets. Let’s not forget the furry, feathered or scaly loved ones in our lives!
Please do not donate any items that require you to be 18 to purchase such as alcohol and NO ITEMS CONTAINING NUTS.
The Christmas Shop is completely voluntary. If you do not wish your child to participate, then please let your child’s teacher know so they can direct them to another activity. The Christmas Shop will be open with slots for Pre-Prep and Year 3 children before school pick-up and open to Year 4 to Year 8 at the end of the school day.
Please bring your donations to the foyer in the Little Field Theatre between 7th and 18th November. Any unsold items will be donated to the Salvation Army Christmas Appeal at the end of the event.
If you would like to get involved with the event to help wrap gifts, help children make their selections, to help restock the tables as children select things, or take unsold items to the Salvation Army, please let us know.
