WINTER SHOPPE - 🎁✨December 5-9, 2024✨🎁
The HSA will once again be hosting a Winter Shoppe this year at TBS!  This Shoppe is a great opportunity for our students to shop for gifts at prices ranging from $.50 -$18.00.  The Shoppe also provides a valuable learning experience for our children by giving them the opportunity to learn about money and budgeting.
We would love it if you could help volunteer at our Winter Shoppe, by helping students choose their presents within their budget and then helping to wrap the presents.  Please click here to volunteer.
