Come shop at Hollywood School PTA’s Holiday Gift Shop
Friday, December 5, from 3:00 to 4:30pm Hollywood School Gym
What is Hollywood School PTA’s Gift Shop?
It’s a jolly event where the Hollywood School gym is transformed into our very own Santa’s workshop. Hollywood students shop for gifts for family and friends during the school day. Friends and neighbors are welcome to come after school to shop too! Nothing costs more than $9.00 because our elves shop year- round for bargains. If you’re looking for stocking stuffers or a great place for your kids to shop, please join us. Cash or checks made payable to the Hollywood School PTA accepted.
Please contact Jennifer Perry with any questions.

Do you want a great chance to see one of your favorite teachers perform at the holiday concert? This week during lunch, you can put your leftover lunch money to good use. In the cafeteria you’ll see jars with your teachers’ pictures on them. Pick which teacher you’d like to see perform at the winter concert and place any amount of money in the jar. The teacher with the highest amount of money will do a special performance at the concert!
All proceeds will benefit the canned food drive.
