Holiday Gift Shop Update

We want to formally thank all the volunteers/"Elves" who assisted with this year's Holiday Gift Shop! 

The kids had a great time selecting holiday (or birthday) gifts for their loved ones and they are really quite good (and sneaky) little shoppers!

The shop is still open for those who may have missed their chance, so last minute requests and donations are welcome - through your child's teacher!

Any feedback is appreciated: gowlingfest@gmail.com

Cheers and be merry!
