I just wanted to provide more information about our upcoming Christmas & Holiday Express Event (this Friday, 6pm-9pm). Last year this was a very popular event and we hope it's even better this year. In case you didn't get a chance to look over your November PTO Newsletter, I'd like to highlight some key improvements we have made over last year's event:

1. Tickets will be for sale at two locations, one table at each end of the 3rd-5th grade hallway.
2. Those wanting photos with Santa can go to the library and get an assigned time to return (on a first-come, first-serve basis) to reduce time waiting in line. (Photos are $10 for a 5x7)
3. Gingerbread Houses will be on display in the cafeteria to reduce crowding in the hallways.
4. Gingerbread winners will be chosen based on: 1) Judges choice (several categories) and 2) popular vote. Vote by putting the number of your favorite gingerbread house on your ticket and placing it in the main voting box in the cafeteria.
5. We have a much larger quantity of each craft, so we should not run out! These are still available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Admission, and activities such as Karaoke & Musical Chairs, as well as some of the crafts are FREE. Please note that this event is CASH ONLY, with the exception of the Santa photos, which are taken professionally by TSS Photographers, and they accept cash, checks and credit.

We're looking forward to a great night of fun for Shepherd families, don't miss it! Click here for more information and prices.
