Mistletoe Market
Thank you to all of the volunteers, especially Aimee Herd, Mayte Pennington and Christine Ruby, for your countless and endless hours making our first Mistletoe Market a GREAT success!  It's great fun to watch the students carefully select the perfect gift for their special loved ones.  They were so proud of their purchases.  This was also the perfect time for a lesson on budgeting and the joy of giving.  

Oh and just so you know, we sold a lot of SLIME! :)
