Supply Lists

Parents, I am doing all I can to keep the supply lists as reasonable as possible, but I need your help.  If you notice on the supply lists below, Kleenex and paper towels are optional.  I did not require these items, but our teachers need these items all the time.  Since they are constantly in short supply, teachers have to resort to using restroom tissue in the place of Kleenex and restroom paper towels in the place of store bought paper towels.  This forces us to have to purchase more restroom tissue and towels than normal.  Please purchase one of each for your child if you are able to.  Thanks!
