Seymour Public Library to host 9 centuries of Christmas carols concert


 

Shelton High School DECA Club to hold gift-wrapping fundraiser


SHELTON - The Shelton High School DECA Club will host a holiday gift wrapping fundraiser to offer the community a chance to take some stress out of the holiday season while supporting a great cause! 

From 5:30-8 p.m. Dec. 19 in the school cafeteria, community members are invited to drop off their gifts for professional wrapping. Whether you bring your wrapping paper or select from our festive collection, DECA students will ensure your gifts are beautifully wrapped and ready for the holidays. 

Pricing: small gifts: $2; medium gifts: $3; large gifts: $5. 

While waiting, guests can relax with complimentary hot cocoa and enjoy a classic holiday movie - or simply drop off their gifts and pick them up later at their convenience! 


Proceeds will support Shelton High School DECA’s programs, including competitions, community projects, and leadership development initiatives. Gift wrapping can be one of the most time-consuming parts of the holidays. 

This fundraiser is a way to lighten the load for our community and a great opportunity for students to engage with and give back to Shelton. Join us in making the season brighter - for you and the future leaders in Shelton DECA!  

The school is at 120 Meadow St.
