Toy Sale of the Sou des Écoles — Saint-Just-Malmont

The Toy Sale of the Sou des Écoles of Saint-Just-Malmont

Saint-Just-Malmont (43240) is a dynamic commune in the northeast of Haute-Loire, with a particularly active associative life. The Sou des Écoles publiques, a parents' association that works to finance school activities, organizes its toy and children's clothing sale every October. This family event is held at gymnasium n°1 of the commune.

A Sale Focused on Childhood

The specificity of this event lies in its theme: toys, board games, video games, books, and children's clothing are the main goods offered. The toy sale meets a real need for families, who can find sought-after toys for their children at reduced prices, while contributing to a responsible consumption approach. Families who no longer have use for certain items can offer them for sale, recovering some money while decluttering their homes.

Gymnasium n°1, a Family Gathering Place

Gymnasium n°1 in Saint-Just-Malmont offers a covered and heated space, particularly suitable for an October event. Its capacity allows it to accommodate many exhibitors and visitors in good conditions. Families with strollers and young children can easily move between the stands, which contributes to the friendly atmosphere of the day.

Refreshments and Light Food On-Site

The Sou des Écoles provides light refreshments on-site with hot dogs, chips, and crepes, accompanied by a refreshment stand. These services, managed by volunteer parents, contribute to the association's funding and enhance the event's friendly character. They allow families to spend the morning or afternoon on-site in comfort.

Funding for Children

The profits from the toy sale are directly donated to the Sou des Écoles publiques of Saint-Just-Malmont, which uses them to finance school trips, shows, purchases of educational materials, and educational projects for the commune's public schools. Every euro spent at the sale contributes to the well-being and development of the students.
