The Ruth Betts School Parent Council is putting together their annual Christmas grotto.  Vice-Principal Craig Bancroft says the grotto will be open for students to shop all day Friday.  He explains they can bring in a quarter or no more than a dollar and they get tokens or tickets and they can go around and shop and their Parent Council is in charge of all of that so they have all kinds of donations that have already come in as they have been overwhelmed by all the community members and staff bringing in all kinds of great things for their students to shop for and purchase.  He says the classes come down and they do a bit of shopping and Parent Council and volunteers wrap everything for them so it’s really nice on Christmas when all their students are able to give gifts to the ones they love.

Bancroft adds if you wish to donate to the Christmas grotto, new or gently used gifts, wrapping paper and gift bags can be dropped off at the Ruth Betts School main office until Friday.
