💸 Tip for families:
Please send money in a labeled envelope with:

🎁 The Holiday Shoppe is Coming to Dawson!

We’re excited to bring back this wonderful tradition where students can shop for special gifts for family and friends. Flyers and budget envelopes are being sent home today in the Wednesday folders. Please be sure to write out each person your child will be shopping for and the spending amount for each—this is especially helpful for our younger Dragons so we can better assist them while they shop.

🛍 Shopping Dates:
December 1st–5th
Teachers have scheduled shopping times Monday through Thursday.
Friday will be an open shopping day for anyone who may have missed their class time or needs to finish up.

🏷 Shop Preview:
Our goal is to have the Holiday Shoppe fully set up by this Friday. We will post photos of gift items along with price points so families can plan ahead. Please note: items may sell out and inventory can vary as the company restocks throughout the week, so we can’t guarantee specific items will be available when your student shops.

If you’re able to volunteer at all please signup to help, we need all the help we can get! Here’s the signup: https://m.signupgenius.com/ #!/showSignUp/5080545ADAE22ABF85-60236747-holiday
