The holiday shop is coming to Oak Knoll ECC! The shop will be open from Dec 3-5 during school hours. To learn more about what types of items will be in the shop, please use this link.

Each class will have an opportunity to go to the gym where they will be able to buy holiday gifts for their loved ones. Please note, that only the kids that are planning on using the shop will be sent to the gym. We do not want the kids that are not participating to feel left out of the buying experience. Given the ages of the kids, we are asking for parent volunteers to help make things go as smoothly as possible. We will have a sign up sheet on our Oak Knoll ECC Families Facebook page, so please stay tuned. 

Please note that the majority of the items in this shop will be $5 and under. Parents are able to use the envelope that was sent home in their child’s folder to put money inside for their child to use at the holiday shop. If parents do not feel comfortable giving their child cash, there is also a voucher option which is available for purchase on the holidaytreasures.com website. This will act like a gift card and any amount leftover will be given back in cash form. The parent volunteers will be there to not only help your child with budgeting out gifts, but they will ensure any money will go directly back into that child’s backpack along with any gifts that were purchased. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to the PTO at oakknolleccpto@gmail.com.
