Greetings from the North Pole!
I'm checking in because Elf Mart week is coming up FAST, and I want to make sure everyone has what they need to participate in this magical event!

HERE'S WHERE WE ARE:
🎄 Shopping Forms - We're collecting these now! Pop it in your student's backpack when you're ready.
🎄 Payment - Online or cash work great—whichever is easier for you!
🎄 Volunteer Helpers - We still have shifts available! And here's a little Santa secret: every shift you work = $5 extra for YOUR child to shop with! (Background check just needs to be on file—easy peasy!)

WHY I'M EXCITED: Your kids are going to LOVE being gift-givers. There's something so special about watching them choose presents for the people they care about. Gets me right in the feels! 🥹
We look forward to a great Barnes Elf Mart! 🎁
