All St. John Paul II scholars got to visit the Santa Store today to pick our gifts for family members. There were candles, lotions and fuzzy socks for moms; mugs, puzzles and notepads for dads. There were items for grandmas and grandpas, and games and stuffed toys and games for siblings. The scholars had gift tags for each person in their families, and they could pick an item for each person. They had so much fun shopping for others. Thank you to the volunteers from Our Lady of Grace parish who helped make selections, wrap and tag the gifts, and provide lots of smiles and love.
The Santa Store was very exciting for the kinders, who experienced it for the first time.
The joy of giving!
Considering a mug for dad.
Middle-school scholars helped the kinders select items.
Then it was time to get the items wrapped.
And each scholar received a card they could write to their family.
Finding just the right thing was lots of fun.
Scholars could get items personalized with names of the recipient.
So many nice things to choose from.
The older scholars took good care of their younger buddies.
Who's going to get that stuffed taco? We will never tell!
