Can you imagine...our last Winter Store was December of 2019! That was so many moons ago! We are happy to announce the reopening of our Winter Store! So what exactly is the Winter Store? Our Winter Store is a place where all of our 545 students go to shop for "TRADITIONAL" gifts or "I LOVE YOU" gifts. The gifts are then paid for and lovingly wrapped by volunteers.
Here's how you can be of help...
We are asking for donations of preferably brand new items such as gifts that you received and can’t make use of (we all have those sitting around), or gently used items (items that are still worthy of being purchased by our kids). With 545 students we will need a minimum of 1,635 gifts. We love household items like mugs, picture frames, vases, bowl sets, kitchen stuff, toiletries, costume jewelry is always a hit, knick knacks, etc. We always need daddy/men gifts, (we always run out of these), and lots of mommy/women gifts. All of the gifts that are purchased will be gift wrapped in traditional wrap & or non traditional wrap - Which means that we'll need lots of wrapping paper, tissue paper, gift boxes, scotch tape, gift tags, ribbons, bows, did I mention wrapping paper?....etc., etc.
Donations are being accepted throughout the month of November. You may drop it off at the office between the hours of 7:15 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Monday thru Friday. If you have any questions, please contact Aunty Dolly at dolly@waikikischool.org or at 971-6900.
The Winter Store starts from Tuesday, December 7 through Thursday, December 9.
Calling all parents, guardians, grandparents, uncles, aunties, big brothers, big sisters, neighbors, & friends! We need your help to wrap gifts! Don’t know how? We’ll be more than happy to teach you!
