Supplies

With limited school funding and the rising cost of goods, we periodically ask for donations for the classroom. Below is a partial list of items that we have great need for in kindergarten. At Back-to-School Night, your child's teacher will have a list of other items that are needed.

Our needs include:

White Xerox paper
Crayola washable markers (thick and thin)
Kleenex
Bright colored Xerox paper
Band-Aids
Clorox/Lysol Wipes
