The EPCO will hold a Christmas Bazaar on Wednesday, Dec. 10 for Easton Elementary School students to purchase gift items for family members at the bargain price of $1 each.
They are asking for donations of items that are new or gently used that would be appropriate for children, parents and grandparents. The organization is still in need of gift bags (any occasion) and tissue paper for wrapping. The long Thanksgiving weekend might be the perfect time to clean house and find items to donate.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the PTO at pto@eastonschools.org, visit their Facebook page or call the elementary school at 488-7701.
