SES and SMS Host Holiday Gift Shops

Just in time for the holiday season, the Holiday Gift Shop has arrived at Solvay Elementary School (SES) and Solvay Middle School (SMS). The Holiday Gift Shop is hosted by each schools PTO and allows students to buy special gifts for their friends and family.

The Holiday Gift Shop for SES takes place throughout the day on December 14 and 15. Students are welcome to stop in to browse the selection throughout the school day with their classes. Volunteers are on hand during the event to help students select items. The program at SES is supplemented by Penguin Patch, with additional handmade items, donations, and purchases from local stores. Gifts are affordable, starting at $0.25 up to $6.00. There is also a separate table of free items for students who may forget to bring in money for purchases. All proceeds from the SES Holiday Gift Shop benefit the SES PTO and are used to fund the next year’s gift shop.

The Holiday Gift Shop at SMS takes place throughout the day from December 14 to December 16. This year, the SMS PTO has extended the Holiday Gift Shop this year by another day, in order to allow students additional time to shop. Similar to SES, students are welcome to stop in with their classes and browse the selection throughout the day. The program at SMS is supplemented by Candy Cane, with some additional homemade items, donations, and purchases from local stores. 

The Holiday Gift Shop at SES and SMS not only allows for students to purchase special gifts, but it also helps provide a learning environment for students. Students are able to utilize their math skills, while also learning about the importance of giving.
