*If you are able to purchase or bring additional supplies listed above for others it would be very much appreciated. Classes are also in need of a few more rulers and pairs of scissors to make complete class sets. All school supplies will be shared among our community of learners, so they will not need to be labeled. As materials run low over the course of the school year we will send home requests for additional supplies.

Thank You! (There's more below!)
