Elf Shop
Elf Shop Description:
The Elf Shop is an annual event held the first Saturday in December each year (usually parallel to the Book Fair) inside the Highland Drive Cafeteria. This event does not generate much of a profit for the PSO but more importantly offers Highland Drive students an opportunity to shop for holiday gifts for friends and/or relatives independently. Each parent is notified in advance of the event through the folders from school and can decide whether or not to bring their child to school on that Saturday morning with money for gifts. The envelope sent home explaining the event encourages parents to suggest maximum dollar amounts per recipient, etc. A volunteer Elf escorts each child through the shopping experience to ensure the expenditures do not exceed the parental suggestions and money is collected from the child before they exit.
