BPS Holiday Boutique

holiday_boutique 1
The holiday season is only a few weeks away and BPS has organized an amazing Holiday Boutique for the children, offering gifts for their loved ones.
The boutique will take place on Tuesday, December 13th and Wednesday, December 14th.  Please see the attached shopping schedule to see when your child’s class will be shopping and be sure to include their shopping list (also attached with more detailed information) as well as money – cash only – on their scheduled day.
Children can shop for up to 6 people during their designated time but can return after the last class has shopped on Wednesday to buy additional items.  Items range from $1-$5.
We are looking for volunteers to help the children shop during those two days.  Please visit http://bpspta.digitalpto.com/ptas-president-message/holiday-boutique/holiday-boutique-volunteer-form/ to fill out the form and submit to the PTA.
There will be a bin in the lobby of the school labelled “Holiday Boutique”.  We’d appreciate donations of wrapping paper, gift boxes, jewelry boxes, tape and tissue paper in order to offer our “free wrapping” of 1 gift per child.
Any questions – please contact Jessica Handsman at [email protected] or Alex Paulyson at [email protected]
