The event is coordinated by the students of the NSD Event, Hospitality and Tourism management, a high-school Career Technical Education (CTE) course in Northshore.

“This event creates a great opportunity for the staff, parents and alumni of the Northshore School District to get a jump start on their holiday shopping and raise much needed funds for our schools,” says Carmin Dalziel, executive director of the  Northshore Schools Foundation. “We love these win/win/win opportunities where people get a quality shopping experience, we are able to support our local economy and there is a benefit to students, too.”

Instructor Geoffrey Gilmore comments, “I am extremely proud of the students in our Event Planning Class who have worked diligently coordinating this event and have generated a wide assortment of support from students and programs throughout the district. We are excited to be involved in showcasing the talents of Northshore students.”
