What to Expect at RePublic Schools Mistletoe Marketplace


A Family Experience Rooted in Love, Achievement, and Belonging
Welcome to a Moment That Matters

When you arrive at RePublic High School on December 12, you're not just stepping into a holiday marketplace. You're walking into a celebration of what it means to belong, to a school, to a community, to a family that shows up for each other.

As you walk deeper into the marketplace, you encounter something you may have never seen before: young people standing proudly behind tables, selling what they created.

You might see:

  • A sophomore's jewelry line – handmade pieces crafted over months, each one unique and beautiful. She's nervous but glowing, watching families admire her work. When someone asks about her business, she lights up. For the first time, maybe, she's seeing herself as an entrepreneur.
  • A junior's baking table – brownies, cookies, and holiday treats packed in handmade boxes. His family stands with him, proud. A customer comes back a second time. "These are amazing," they say. He beams. He belongs here.
  • Art installations and creative projects – posters, paintings, digital art, photography. Each one tells a story. Each one represents a scholar who took a risk and said, "I have something to share with you."
  • Family vendors – parents and guardians selling their own crafts, products, and services. A mother who's been making candles for years finally has a stage. A father's carpentry work is on display. Their children see it. They understand: We are creators. We belong in this space.
  • Local small businesses – community vendors who've come to support RHS and show what's possible in our neighborhood. They're not just selling; they're modeling what entrepreneurship and community investment look like.

As you move through the marketplace, you're not just shopping. You're witnessing. You're celebrating. You're saying to each scholar and family vendor, "Your work matters. You matter. We see you."


Throughout the marketplace, you notice donation tables where families are bringing coats, blankets, and canned goods. But this isn't a transactional "drop your stuff here" experience. We're aiming to make an impact within our community.

For families considering RHS for next year, there's a dedicated space staffed by admissions representatives. But it doesn't feel like a hard sell.

Instead, you find:

  • Genuine conversations – Reps aren't pushing. They're inviting. "Tell us about your child. Tell us what matters to your family. Does this feel like a place where they could belong?"
  • Current students sharing their stories – RHS scholars talk about what it's like to be part of this community. They're authentic, excited, and real. No scripts. Just truth.
  • Questions answered – What does it mean to be part of RePublic? How do we support families? What does belonging look like? Every question is met with thoughtfulness.
  • Interest forms – Families who want to learn more fill out a simple form. But the real message has already been communicated: We see you. We want you here. You belong.

At its heart, RePublic Schools Mistletoe Marketplace is about this:

Love: A community that shows up for its neighbors, even in small ways. A school that celebrates its young people. Families that support families.

Achievement: Young people stepping into their power. Scholars discovering they have something valuable to offer. The message that you are capable becoming real and visible.

Belonging: Not just "you're allowed to be here," but "we want you here. We celebrate you. You matter." Every scholar vendor, every family, every community member leaves knowing they belong to something meaningful.


RePublic Schools Mistletoe Marketplace: December 12, 6:00–8:00 p.m.

Bring a coat. Bring a donation. Bring your family.

Bring yourself. Everything else flows from there.

You belong here.

Qué Esperar en RePublic Schools Mistletoe Marketplace
Una Experiencia Familiar Basada en el Amor, el Logro y el Sentido de Pertenencia
Bienvenidos a un Momento que Importa

Cuando llegas a RePublic High School el 12 de diciembre, no solo estás entrando a un mercado navideño. Estás entrando a una celebración de lo que significa pertenecer: a una escuela, a una comunidad, a una familia que se apoya mutuamente.

A medida que avanzas por el mercado, encuentras algo que tal vez nunca hayas visto: jóvenes de pie, orgullosos, detrás de sus mesas, vendiendo lo que ellos mismos crearon.

Podrías ver:

  • La línea de joyería de una estudiante de segundo año – piezas hechas a mano durante meses, cada una única y hermosa. Está nerviosa pero radiante mientras observa a las familias admirar su trabajo. Cuando alguien le pregunta sobre su negocio, se ilumina. Tal vez, por primera vez, se ve a sí misma como emprendedora.
  • La mesa de repostería de un estudiante de tercer año – brownies, galletas y dulces navideños empacados en cajas hechas a mano. Su familia está a su lado, orgullosa. Un cliente regresa por segunda vez. “Están deliciosos”, le dicen. Él sonríe. Él pertenece aquí.
  • Instalaciones artísticas y proyectos creativos – carteles, pinturas, arte digital, fotografía. Cada obra cuenta una historia. Cada una representa a un estudiante que se atrevió a decir: “Tengo algo que compartir contigo.”
  • Vendedores familiares – padres y tutores vendiendo sus propias artesanías, productos y servicios. Una madre que ha hecho velas por años finalmente tiene un escenario. El trabajo de carpintería de un padre está en exhibición. Sus hijos lo ven y entienden: Somos creadores. Este espacio también es nuestro.
  • Pequeños negocios locales – vendedores de la comunidad que vienen a apoyar a RHS y mostrar lo que es posible en nuestro vecindario. No solo están vendiendo; están modelando lo que es el emprendimiento y la inversión comunitaria.

Mientras te mueves por el mercado, no solo estás comprando. Estás siendo testigo. Estás celebrando. Estás diciéndole a cada estudiante y a cada familia vendedora: “Tu trabajo importa. Tú importas. Te vemos.”

En todo el mercado, notarás mesas de donaciones donde las familias traen abrigos, mantas y alimentos enlatados. Pero esto no es una experiencia transaccional de “deja tus cosas aquí”. Estamos buscando crear un impacto real en nuestra comunidad.

Para las familias que están considerando RHS para el próximo año, hay un espacio dedicado atendido por representantes de admisiones. Pero no se siente como una venta agresiva.

En cambio, encontrarás:

  • Conversaciones genuinas – los representantes no presionan; invitan. “Cuéntanos sobre tu hijo. ¿Qué es importante para tu familia? ¿Sientes que este podría ser un lugar donde él o ella pertenezca?”
  • Estudiantes actuales contando sus historias – jóvenes de RHS hablan sobre cómo es ser parte de esta comunidad. Son auténticos, entusiastas y reales. Sin guiones. Solo verdad.
  • Respuestas claras – ¿Qué significa ser parte de RePublic? ¿Cómo apoyamos a las familias? ¿Cómo se ve el sentido de pertenencia? Cada pregunta recibe una respuesta reflexiva.
  • Formularios de interés – Las familias que desean saber más llenan un formulario sencillo. Pero el mensaje real ya quedó claro: Te vemos. Te queremos aquí. Perteneces aquí.
En su esencia, RePublic Schools Mistletoe Marketplace se trata de esto:
Amor:

Una comunidad que se apoya, incluso en cosas pequeñas. Una escuela que celebra a sus jóvenes. Familias que apoyan a familias.


Logro:

Jóvenes dando pasos hacia su propio poder. Estudiantes descubriendo que tienen algo valioso que ofrecer. El mensaje “eres capaz” volviéndose realidad, visible y vivo.


Pertenencia:

No solo “estás permitido aquí,” sino “te queremos aquí. Te celebramos. Tú importas.” Cada estudiante, cada familia, cada miembro de la comunidad se va sabiendo que pertenece a algo significativo.
