Holiday Shop is here at John Muir! Monday 12/8 - Friday 12/12!
Give your students the opportunity to buy small gifts for the family this holiday season, out of sight, but with the peace of mind that another grown up will help them shop (and stay in budget)! There is a variety of items for the whole family, with prices ranging from $0.50 to $15!
Students should have come home with a shopping date and envelope that can be filled out with who they need to shop for last week, but please reach out if you are unsure when your student is supposed to shop.
We are also in need of volunteers! If you have any availability to be a shopping helper this week, we would appreciate it! Sign up below:

Shifts are each day 9:30am-12:00pm and 1:00pm-3:30pm, with a break from 12-1pm for lunch and volunteer shift change.
Please let us know if you have any questions!
