Time to Order Next Year’s School Supplies

Posted by admin on under Parent Resources | Be the First to Comment

The sale of school supply kits for the 2009-2010 school year starts this Friday, May 1st. More information will be coming home in the Wednesday packet. The sale is through Innisbrook again, but there are a couple of changes: 1) PTA is offering this as a service to all school families - it’s not a fundraiser, so you pay the actual cost of the supplies; 2) Ordering and payment will be ONLINE ONLY and; 3) the kits will ship directly to your home over the summer. If you have any questions, please call Carol Barlow at 447-2628.
