CHRISTMAS STORE 2016
Christmas Store 2016 December 7 th
Each year the children of Assumption look forward to the Christmas Store. It is the day the school gym is converted into a magical wonderland of gifts for them to purchase for family and friends. This magic could not happen without the help of the Assumption elves – parents, grandparents, and friends. While the Christmas Store provides the children the opportunity to select from a large array of pre-purchased items, our handmade crafts are always a big hit. These crafts items are where we need your help! moncler aredhel aphrotiti
