Students from all levels of the Hempfield School District have been busy producing items for the Hempfield Holiday Shoppe. The bazaar-style event will be held on Friday, Dec. 13, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Franklin Gym at Hempfield High School, 200 Stanley Ave., Landisville. The Holiday Shoppe was created by Lauren Gardill, a paraeducator at the high school, in 2016. She had observed increased Hempfield student participation in a bazaar hosted by LancasterLebanon Intermediate Unit 13 for 1 8 years. “There were so many Hempfield students, classrooms, and teachers involved that I thought it would be nice to have our own,” Gardill related. Kristie Beatty, a special education teacher at the high school, related that the first Holiday Shoppe was held in the
board room of the district administration building. “But we quickly outgrew that,” she said. A total of 15 student-run minibusinesses, some with more than one table, will be part of the Holiday Shoppe. The products they will offer include embroidered apparel, beaded crafts, illustrated mugs, picture holders, holiday decorations, snow globes, magnets, stationery, artistic tiles, wine glass decorations, fabric banners, wooden signs, rustic tree slab art, tablets, gift packs, painted dishes, jewelry, cranberry jam, and canvas art. Additionally, members of The Grind, which makes and delivers coffee to students and staff members at the high school and administration building every Friday during the school year, will sell coffee, hot tea, doughnuts, chips, and hot dogs. “We get to vote on designs (for our mugs),” said junior Yaniel Colon.
