My Project

Every school year we send home a list of supplies needed for the school year. These supplies inevitably run low throughout the school year. It's not the fancy supplies that run low, but the simple and most basic. Sometimes all we really need are the basics.

These supplies will help us get through the rest of the school year and any leftover supplies will help us prepare for our students next school year.

As schools have come through COVID, it has been an important season of remembering what matters most and returning back to the basics of education.
