Holiday Shop
We’re excited to announce that the Granby PTO is hosting our First Annual Holiday Shop December 4-6.
​
The Holiday Shop will be open during the week of conferences, giving children the opportunity to shop for gifts during school hours and conference times. This will be a wonderful chance for them to experience the joy of picking out gifts for their loved ones!
Frequently Asked Questions
This is new, so we have some FAQs to answer a few things that are probably on your mind.
Q: Is the holiday shop a fundraiser for the school? A: Short answer, yes! The PTA will use the small amount of funds raised towards future events and projects for students and teachers.
Q: What is the price range for gifts in the Holiday Shop? A: Gifts are priced just for kids! 80% of our items are under $5.00 and 60% are under $3. Gifts even start at 25 cents! A small amount will be returned back to the PTO.
Q: How much money should I send with my child? A: Our prices start at 25 cents with 60% of our items under $3 each. We suggest setting a budget per person to determine how much money to send. We will be sending out instruction on how to use an e-wallet similar to what we have used with book fairs.
Q: Why was my child allowed to purchase items that weren’t listed on the budget envelope? A: Sometimes kiddos choose some surprising gifts or can get sidetracked if they aren’t used to shopping on their own. The volunteers at your school run the shop and do their best to help the kids purchase gifts. Be sure to ask your child how they selected their gifts…their response is the best part!
Q: How can I get a replacement for a broken or lost gift? A: Reach out to info@granbypto.org so we can work with the vendor to get it replaced.
Q: What if we need financial assistance? A: We have scholarships available to families who may need assistance. Reach out to the school principals for more assistance. We are happy to provide this assistance.
