HOLIDAY SHOP
Tues 12/3-Thurs 12/5
We are excited to bring back the HOLIDAY SHOP to PS 175!! The kids really enjoyed this event last year. The Holiday shop is a program designed for children to shop on their own at school in a safe, non-commercial environment. They can learn to budget their money and spend wisely while also experiencing the “Joy of Giving.” There are gifts available for ALL the members of your little shopper’s family. You have the option to purchase a gift certificate in lieu of sending your child in with cash. Gifts range from .50-$12 with the majority of the gifts falling within the $3-$8 range. Click the link below to purchase a gift certificate, check out the gifts and more:
