Holiday shopping…UGH! Congested parking lots. Crowded malls. Finding a decent gift for Aunt Phyllis.

This year, why not take some of the anxiety out of gift giving by making a date to shop in the heart of Jamaica Plain? On Tuesday, December 11, some of Centre Street’s most popular and generous businesses will be donating 15 percent of their sales to the Curley School to help us fund our art and music programs.

It’s easy: simply download and print the flyer at the bottom of this message and bring it to any of these fantastic JP merchants:

• Boing! Toy Shop, 667 Centre Street, donating from 10am to 7pm
• Kitchenwitch, 671 Centre Street, donating from 10am to 7pm
• On Centre Gift Shop, 636 Centre Street, donating from 5pm to 7pm
• Street Car Wine and Beer, 488 Centre Street, donating from 5pm to 7pm. Streetcar will also be hosting a wine tasting that evening for shoppers 21+.

We look forward to seeing you on the 11th, and a big thank you to all of these businesses for giving back to the community and supporting Boston’s public schools.
