What is Santa Shop?
Santa Shop is a fun-filled event on the first Thursday and Friday in Decemeber, where students shop for their loved ones in the delightfully transformed Victory Hall. 

Students can choose from a wide variety of items starting at $1.00.   Items include personalized ornaments, embroidered blankets, photo ornaments, toys and games, jewelry, as well as great gifts for mom, dad and grandparents. Students will be assigned a time to shop during the day with their class and can shop on their own or with a little help from a Santa Shop volunteer or parent. After shopping, students will enjoy a freshly baked cookie before returning to class. 

SANTA SHOP RAFFLE:  Santa Shop also includes a raffle for great prizes as well as a grand prize.  This year there will be a grand prize for each wing.  Students can purchase raffle tickets for $1 each or 6 for $5 to enter their name in the drawing.  The week after Santa Shop six daily winners will be chosen to select prizes from the Santa Shop display case located in OLV’s main hallway.  On Friday that week, the grand prize winners will also be chosen.  

How Can I Volunteer for Santa Shop?  Use the SignUp Link: TBD
Santa Shop depends on volunteers to help setup the shop and ensure the students shopping experience runs smoothly.  Volunteers help students select gifts, pay for their purchases, and wrap & label presents so they are ready to be placed under the Christmas tree.  Please join us and volunteer your time for this wonderful kid-focused event: 

Shop Setup Helper

Setup volunteers will assist the Santa Shop Committee in turning Victory Hall into a Christmas Wonderland.  It is an amazing transformation!  Volunteers will decorate Victory Hall, set up displays and tables for merchandise, organize and price merchandise and get the wrapping station ready to go.   Santa Shop is a busy event and many volunteers are needed to get the hall ready!

Santa Shop Helper

Santa Shop volunteers can work morning and/or afternoon shifts to help student shoppers, keep tables stocked with merchandise, run cashiers, hand out cookies, wrap gifts and clean up.  There is a morning and afternoon shift.  Volunteers can choose the shift that includes their children's shopping time to help them find the perfect gift for their shopping list.  The Santa Shop Committee provides a delicious lunch for all our Santa Shop volunteers.
