For those parents who may not be familiar with our Penguin Patch, students shop for holiday gifts for family members. Penguin Patch teaches them about budgeting, problem solving, and independence. Teachers will send home an envelope with information about the day your child will be shopping. Most Penguin Patch items are inexpensive for children to shop. Parents may send money in the envelope provided on the day your child shops.
