What is SWAG?

The ultimate give-back-to-your-community event is on!  Shop with a Greyhound is scheduled for Saturday, December 9, 2023.

The day kicks off with 175 Brumby elementary students arriving at Pope in red-carpet style where 400 Pope students (Santa’s helpers) eagerly greet them, ready for the fun and exciting adventure ahead!

Upon arrival a deicious brunch is had by all amidst holiday music and festive decorations.  Santa makes a grand entrance, kicking off a 600-person dance party!

Next up—shopping trip to Target!  While students wait for their group’s turn to shop at Target, the magic continues at Pope. Students can decorate cookies, decorate frames for their pictures with Santa, make a holiday ornament, jump in a bouncy house, write letters to Santa, sing karaoke, or just enjoy interaction with their Pope group. 

Once they’ve returned from Target, gifts are wrapped and ready for the holidays! The day’s finale—pizza party! Around 6:00 p.m., with full hearts, we send the Brumby students home with their gifts, goodies, and special memories.

The atmosphere all day is charged with excitement and the time is such an amazing one for both Pope and Brumby students.
