Skip the Back to School Shopping:  We know many families are starting to think about Back to School shopping. Here are a few guidelines to help: Each grade level has purchased all the school supplies that your students will need for the entire year. We get a great discount as a school, so we like to purchase everything in advance. We ask for each family to contribute a $35 donation per student toward school supplies which is included in our Field Lessons and School Supplies Drive described above.
