Hillcrest students share the spirit of giving with store project The Hillcrest Public School is inviting the public to donate new or gently used items to their annual Christmas Store. The Christmas Store is an in-school holiday shopping experience for students. Each child is given the chance to pick out at least one free gift for a family member. The children are taught the importance of giving and sharing through the experience. The Spirit Club will wrap the gift for the student, who will be able to take the gift home to put under their tree. Students may be given more than one opportunity to shop, depending on the generosity of the community. Students who do not celebrate the Christmas holiday
will still be able to pick out a gift to give to someone special that will be wrapped accordingly. Donations can be dropped off at the school during school hours; Monday to Friday from 8 a.m.-3:30 p.m. The school asks that all donations be in by Dec. 5. The Christmas Store teaches students why generosity is so important. Some of the students who are given the chance to shop have never shopped for another person before, so they are able to work one on one with a teacher to help pick out the perfect gift for someone special in their life. The school is looking for any sort of giftware for every age and gender. Cash donations are also graciously
accepted and will go to purchase more items for the store. The donations let the students know that the community supports the school, and the store creates an all around feeling of warmth so that students feel more comfortable in their school and their community. The store has been a tradition for three or four years. It was started by Maureen Jackiw, who wanted to give students the opportunity to pick out gifts for their loved ones and teach them lessons about giving and generosity. The Christmas Store is enthusiastically looked forward to by the student. It reinforces how important traditions are and how influential they can be to the students who attend the school.
