Back to school supplies
Last week I took my rising fifth grader to purchase school supplies over the weekend. Yes, I know....school is over a month away from starting, but I wanted to get a jump on purchasing these supplies. I am pleased to announce that we successfully accomplished our goal. We purchased everything on his fifth grade supply list - even the "wish list" items which were requested by teachers. I wanted to be able to put a price tag on these supplies to share with parents. I spent $43.97 at Walmart! And, I think that was pretty good! Also, I wanted to purchase the "wish list" items - so often teachers spend money out of pocket to purchase these items throughout the year. I wanted to be able to contribute these items for them at the start of the year. Finally, I received a flier notifying parents of a Back 2 School Bash to be held on Saturday, August 2, 2008, from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 noon at the Kershaw County School District Annex (Old Pine Tree Hill Elementary School) in Camden. At this event, students in Grades K-12 will be able to get school supplies! Keep this event in mind as you plan your Back to School shopping, and remember - Back to School Registration will be held here at Doby's Mill Elementary on July 29! See you then!
Teachers, be sure to keep reading Chapter 5. I will be posting my blog this week on this chapter.
