School Supplies – a suggested school supplies list was sent home at the end of the school year. I know school supplies can be expensive so please don’t feel the need to provide everything on the list. We share some supplies and some are individual. I always have extra supplies if someone is missing something and I will let families know if we are running out of supplies, like tissues! Here is a list of school supplies, if you missed the one that was sent out. Don’t be concerned if the lists are not identical. Whatever supplies you send are greatly appreciated!!
