School Supplies
One of the fun rituals that signals the return of a new school year is the shopping for new school supplies! Ah the joy of shopping aisle by aisle, searching item by item for the right things while you bond with your child over deciding on a new lunch bag in green or blue? Green, or blue? Oh, look it's in red! Red, green or blue?
Actually, some of us do love this wonderful ritual, and others do not. For the "do-nots," you can order a supply pack in June to be delivered to your child's class in August.
Please click on the grade level your student will be in the 2019-20 school year for a printable copy of his/her supply list.
