Riddle Elementary will be hosting its 2nd annual penguin patch holiday shop.
More information will be coming home soon to families.
Students will be secretly shopping for family and friends DURING the school day with their teachers. It is a great excuse to encourage your child to earn their shopping money by doing some chores at home.
Here are a few ideas on how they can earn money to shop: Make their bed, help bring in the groceries, help a sibling with a project, feed the dog or assist grandparents with chores.
