Gingerbread Shop In Media Center December 3-4th

The PTA Gingerbread Shop will be in the media center both Thursday and Friday of this week during the school day. For those parents who might be new to TRE, this is very special annual event that allows students to come down and do some holiday shopping for gifts to give to moms, dads, brothers, sisters, friends, etc. Students can walk away with several items with just a handful of change. This event made a big impression on me as I watched it for the first time last year. The kids are so thoughtful in buying gifts for others and take pride in using their money wisely and buying just the right item for a friend or family member. We also make sure all students are able to buy items and have coupons available should any student need them. I would like to thank Bonnie Joly and all of her volunteers who work so hard to make this a very special event in our school year. It really brings home the message of "giving" to others. Thanks PTA!
