(formerly known as Penguin Patch)

 The Merry Market* is our annual kid-friendly holiday shop where students have the opportunity to purchase handpicked, affordable gifts for their loved ones. Like last year, the Merry Market is hosted entirely by Pine Shadows parents through the PTA. There’s no third-party company involved, so all proceeds stay at PSE!

Classes will visit the Holiday Shop from Monday, December 7th to Thursday, December 10th, according to the schedule below. It’s a fun way for kids to experience the joy of giving during the holiday season!  

IMPORTANT FOR THIS YEAR:

We will hold all purchased items and deliver all purchases to your student's class on Friday morning (Dec 11), so all PSE students take their gifts home on Friday afternoon.

This new schedule will help prevent items from being opened too early or getting lost, and make the holiday shop easier for all who participate :)

HOW YOUR STUDENT CAN PARTICIPATE:

1. Every student is welcome to shop! If a student needs financial assistance, they will receive a small dollar voucher when they arrive at the Merry Market (No prep work on your end).
2. Families that do not need financial assistance have three ways to provide shopping funds:
   
   • Cash sent with your student on your class's shopping day
   • Check* (payable to Pine Shadows PTA) sent with your student on your class's shopping day
     • *Please note our new name for the memo line, Merry Market (previously Penguin Patch)   
   • Pre-paid Shopper Card purchased on the PTA website through December 3rd (buttons below). Students who purchased a Shopper Card (before Dec 3rd) will receive it from their teacher on the day they shop.
