THANK YOU - 2024 Holiday Shop

The 2024 Holiday Shop was an overwhelming success, thanks to the incredible generosity and dedication of our amazing volunteers! We are incredibly grateful to each and every one of you who gave your time to help our students shop for their loved ones.

A special heartfelt thank you to Cassandra Nunez for her invaluable contributions and tireless efforts in making this event possible.

We are thrilled to announce that the Holiday Shop raised a remarkable $1000, which will be proudly donated to Burks Elementary!

As we reflect on this year's event, we are identifying a few areas for improvement to ensure an even smoother and more joyful experience next year. However, one thing remains crystal clear: this event simply wouldn't be possible without the invaluable support of our volunteers.

We kindly urge you to consider volunteering your time next year. Even a small contribution can make a significant difference in bringing smiles to the faces of our students during the holiday season.

Thank you again for your unwavering support!


Emily Reed, VP of Publicity
