School supplies

[Ms. AntiVenom]

When we were kids we were sent to school with just pencils mabye paper, I have never owned a back pack, we carried everything in our hands

I had to buy this this weekend x's 2

1 backpack
1 three-ring binder
1 composition books
4 (duo prong) folders (1 each; purple, yellow, blue, orange)
1 packs of #2 pencils
1 bottle of Elmer's White School Glue
1 pack of glue sticks
1 bottles of liquid hand soap
1 bottle of liquid hand sanitizer
2 boxes of tissues
2 boxes of Crayola brand crayons (24 pack)
1 pair of Fiskar student scissors
1 large eraser
3 clear sheet protectors
1 box of Ziploc storage bags (boys-gallon size, girls-quart or sandwich size)
1 highlighter
1 pencil pouch or box (small)
1 container of Clorox wipes or baby wipes


TO TOP it all you almost had to fist fight to get down the Isles

*edit changed to supplies from supplys - skool didmt do me any good

Aren't some of those items considered weapons ?

[Ms. AntiVenom]

Didnt look at it that way


What sucks is that I volunteer at the school and 50% of the parents don't care to send anything from the list, that's why they are asking doubles of something's, Usually my father and our church sends allot extra for those kids

I found out the teachers are paying out of their pocket for the supplies they dont have

I know ,my wife is a teacher and she spends 10-15% of her salary on kid's supplies.Oh well--

I just added to my other post as you posted, I think it sucks that the teachers are paying out of pocket, but most of them are not there for the money as is.

Wait, it doesn't get any better. I just had to buy...

1 each:
refrigerator
6 X 8 rug
laptop computer
desk chair
desk lamp
mattress topper
assorted toiletries
flash light
safe
floor fan
personal fan
mirror
shelf organizers
hangers
pillows
etc. etc. I'm sure I'm forgetting something

And this doesn't count the hundreds of $$ in books.

I have to rent a trailer to get all this stuff up there. At least her room mate is bringing up the microwave and TV.

This is not going to be easy for Mom & Dad

Thats going to be fun when they get there




Im thinking of a school supplies corvette run next year if there would be any takers, I can hand the stuff right to the teachers?

Man, am I glad I don't have any kids in school anymore!

[vett boy]

I see where someone has developed bullet proof backpacks for protection.
Doesn't that give ya a warm fuzzy feeling?

I've been sent back to 6th grade. Can I have some of those supplies. I was roughed up by some big dude named Greg and he took my lunch money.
