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 large eraser
3 clear sheet protectors
1 box of Ziploc storage bags (boys-gallon size, girls-quart or sandwich size)

Aren't some of those items considered weapons ?

 

[Ms. AntiVenom]

:lmao: 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 :nonod:

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?

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.:reddevil:

 

[Ms. AntiVenom]

That was so you could go faster and get away from him

Backpacks. I remember when we used to use pillow cases to carry out supplies in to keep from getting wet when it rained and we walked 3 miles each way to school LOL. Wait til the kids are in college as Costal mentioned. I just got hit up for another car. :banghead:
