Suggested School Supplies for Fall 2010

With only a few weeks left to summer break I thought this would be a good time to make a few suggestions on what students should come to school with in the fall. These are only suggestions and will help with your student's success.

• 3 ring binder
• loose leaf 3 hole punch paper
• 1 subject spiral notebooks
• Pens
• Pencils
• markers
• 2 GB thumbdirve (USB drive) (this is helpful when students are working on projects at home and school)
• For Physical Education(GYM) classes each students needs a change of clothes and appropriate footwear--sneakers.
  

I would also recommend a small package of tissues and hand santizer for the locker.
