STUDENT MAKER'S MARKET

The Parras PTSA will hold a Student Maker's Market on December 14th from 3:30-5:30pm.


We invite student entrepreneurs to sell things at the market that they have made. For example some kids make candles, textiles, art, baked goods.


Each student will be provided a table and a chair. You can decorate your booth as you wish. On the morning of the event, students can bring all items to school. The items will be safely stored until the event begins. Students can begin setting up their tables at 2PM, right after school ends.


You will take cash and be responsible for your takings - we will not have any way to process credit cards for you. The PTSA will provide hot chocolate for the guests. In the spirit of gratitude, we suggest also that each maker may wish to donate a percentage of their profit to their favorite charity (other than Parras PTSA!).
