Getting Ready for Back to School
At this time of year, stores are busy advertising back to school supplies. While students love to have their own pencil case with pencils and pencil crayons, rest assured that it is not necessary. We have a stockpile of all things school ready and waiting for you to return. Classroom educators will always welcome hand sanitizer, kleenex, tennis balls cut to fit the bottom of chairs and desks and large zip lock bags. We can't wait to hear about all your summer fun. See you soon! |
