Holiday Gift Shop

Thank you very, very much to all the volunteers who came to make this year's holiday gift shop the smoothest event yet. Thanks to Betsy James, Kelly Kenney, Pat & Shelley Cannon, Lori Jhamb, Amy Herring, Annel Oltof and all the parents who came down with their childrens room. It was great and the kids all had fun. Thanks also to the teachers for working with us on the scheduling.

The Christmas concert on Friday was a great way to wrap up the 2009. Now we can all bake cookies with our cookie dough and wrap up our Lake Hills spirit wear to give as gifts. Looking forward to seeing you all in 2010!

Merry Christmas and peace to you from Northshore PTA.
