Supplies, Supplies, Supplies

Hello,

During this season, we use a large amount of Kleenex.

We need and would love to have some more Kleenex and Clorox wipes as well!

We also have gone through (3) Electric Pencil Sharpeners?? We are in desperate need of one or two that is very sturdy as you can imagine how many pencils are sharpened on a daily basis??!

If you could purchase one or have one just laying around at home, in your office or somewhere, it would be greatly appreciated!

Please send the items in by your student!

Thanks,
Ms. Kimbrough
