What is Winter Market?

The Winter Market is a festive event at our school where students, families, and community members donate handmade items- like knit hats, sugar scrubs, key chains, necklaces, and more- for sale. All of the items are generously donated, and every dollar raised goes directly to support our school. It’s a wonderful opportunity to shop for unique holiday gifts for your family, friends, and neighbors while enjoying popcorn, sweet treats, hot cocoa, and a silent auction. Come join the fun and help support our school community!

Our craft-making afternoon for kids will be hosted after school on Thursday, November 20th. We will have everything you need to make fun crafts to sell at the market!

We are currently looking for silent auction donation items. If you have a gift card, something special or fancy that is better to auction than sell at the market, an experience, an item, just let us know!

FAQs

Can I set up my own stall to sell items at the Winter Market?

This year we are only selling donated items. If you’re interested in setting up a stall, please let us know and we are open to hosting sellers at the market next year if we have enough interest!

What types of items can I make to donate to the Winter Market? And how many items can I donate?

Here are some ideas on Pinterest, and a list to get you started! We sold out of everything we

had to sell at the market last year, so we don’t have restrictions on the number of items you can donate. If anything you’ve donated doesn’t sell and you’d like it back, just let us know!
