Our fabulous PFA is spreading holiday cheer with a Holiday Luncheon for our amazing teachers and staff on Tuesday, December 16th — and they’re hoping to showcase your most delicious side dishes on the table! 🎄✨
➡️ To sign up, simply click the link below: https://tinyurl.com/FacultyHolidayPotluck
To keep the buffet merry and bright, please indicate what you’ll be bringing so we can offer a fun variety of dishes. All items should come in disposable containers (crockpot items should use a disposable liner). Since we do not have kitchen facilities, please make sure your food arrives hot or cold and ready to enjoy.
Please drop off all dishes at the front office by 10:00 AM the morning of the luncheon.
Thanks to your generous support throughout the year, the PFA will be providing the meat!
Thank you for adding a little extra holiday magic—and flavor—to this special celebration! 🎁🍽️💙
Our amazing PFA volunteer elves are ready to help our Manatees pick out special gifts for family and friends all week long. Homeroom teachers shared each class’s shopping day last week, so be sure to check their messages!
And don’t forget — the shop will stay open until 5 PM this Thursday during Run/Walk. Come join the fun! 🛍️💙

As a volunteer, you’ll help students choose presents, stick to their budgets, and even wrap their treasures! Whether you can give a few hours or a few days, it’s the most festive volunteer gig of the year! Well-behaved kiddos may tag along after school, but younger siblings can’t be on campus during school hours. Grandparents are welcome—spread the cheer!
Before your shift, download the “Wonderland Gift Shoppes” app from the App Store or Google Play to help keep budgets on track. (WiFi is a little shy on campus, so grab it ahead of time!) We’ll give you your login when you arrive.
