As the school year comes to an end, we wanted to share some exciting news with you for next year before you get settled into summer and miss the chance to make school shopping a little easier! We have partnered with EPI School Supplies. They have made our lives easier by pricing out each grade's supply list and will be packaging them and sending them directly to the school in August to save you the hassle. This is NOT mandatory, and we will be using it as a fundraiser. There will be two separate supply lists on the website. If you choose to order online, there are a few items on the list not provided (backpack, PE shoes, an art shirt, etc.) The direct link to the site is: https://www.educationalproducts.com/shoppacks/category.aspx?&categoryLevel=1&category1=PP&category1Name=Pre%20Packs&category2=WES664&category2Name=WES664&rnd=54817 Otherwise, follow the instructions on the flyer attached, that will also be coming home with your student today. Deadline to order is JUNE 24!! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out!
