WINTER STORE
So what exactly is the Winter Store? Our Winter Store is a place where all of our 566 students go to shop for 3 "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 566 students we will need a minimum of 1,698 gifts. We love household items like mugs, picture frames, vases, bowl sets,
kitchen stuff, knickknacks & costume jewelry is always a hit.
We always need daddy/men gifts, (we always run out of these), and lots of mommy/women gifts. Which means that we'll need lots of wrapping paper, tissue paper, gift boxes, ribbons, bows…did I mention wrapping paper?...etc., etc.
Donations are being accepted throughout the month of November. You may drop it off
in the cafeteria to the right of the steps in front of the stage between the hours of 7:15
a.m. to 5:00 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 5 through Thursday, December 7.
The cost of the gifts ranges from 25 cents to $3.00. The children can purchase 3 gifts for someone other than themselves. This not only teaches them the gift of giving, but also math, flexible thinking and other HOMs.
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!
Volunteers are needed to help sort donations & price donations on Monday, December 4,
and man our Winter Store from December 5-7. Please check the time(s) that you will be available to assist. It’s a lot of fun and your help is vital in making our Winter Store a success! If you are able to stay longer, please feel free to do so. If you can only cover for an hour, then do so. If you can’t, don’t worry!
*Please mark your calendar to remind you of your commitment. This is your confirmation.
