Yankee Swap


On Friday, December 23, we will celebrate the spirit of giving by holding a Yankee Swap. In a Yankee Swap, classmates exchange small gifts. Both the giver and the receiver of the gift are unknown, adding an element of mystery and surprise!

Please bring in ONE gift for the swap. It must be:
  • worth $10 or LESS
  • Appropriate for a boy or girl
  • Appropriate for school
  • Wrapped
  • Unmarked (no gift tags)


Some ideas for a swap gift include books, puzzles or other games, school or art supplies, or homemade treats (no nuts please).

Check out these Yankee Swap links:

Any questions or concerns, please leave a comment!
