A holiday market with purpose
It’s that time of year again, lights are twinkling, families are gathering, and the spirit of giving is alive in Nashville. On Friday, December 12, 2025 (6:00–8:00 p.m.), we’re hosting our first annual Republic Schools Mistletoe Marketplace. We believe every scholar deserves to shine, and we’re bringing that belief to life by showcasing the incredible talents of our students, families, and local entrepreneurs. Walk through the doors and discover a bustling market of handcrafted gifts, delicious homemade treats, creative art, and innovative businesses, all driven by our scholars and families. Each table isn’t just selling products; it’s sharing a story of achievement and vision.
This event isn’t only about shopping. It’s about coming together to spread warmth and kindness in our community. Families are encouraged to bring gently used coats, blankets, and canned food. Every donated item will be professionally cleaned and gifted to a Nashville neighbour or family in need, making sure that your generosity has a tangible, local impact.
Throughout the evening, you’ll enjoy performances by our scholars and get a chance to experience festive activities for all ages. Attendees will have an opportunity to take home raffle prizes and memories from our family photo booth. Admissions representatives will be on hand for prospective families, ready to share how RePublic High School’s mission of love, achievement, and belonging is transforming lives across Nashville.
Whether you’re a current family, a future scholar, a local business leader, or someone looking to give back, Mistletoe Marketplace promises an evening packed with connection, celebration, and community spirit. Every purchase and every donation strengthens our RHS family and lifts up neighbors who need a little extra warmth this season.
