Didn't that one line just say no decorations and no name? :huh:


Are you all getting this detailed lists? I find them maddening... :sad: Why don't the school just buy them in bulk and send me a bill? That would be my preference...

Then life would be good. :loveshowe Off soon on my scavenger hunt of school supplies. :sad:

Did I mention I have two kids and two different lists? Double the pleasure ...

I love having an excuse to buy pretty new pens and pencils :D

I buy all my students' supplies and ask parents to donate paper towels, hand sanitizer, kleenex, and cleaning wipes as they can during the year. Oh! And snacks when they can afford to send some in.

(((Lil)))

:yikes: :faint:

:roflmao:

LOL...At work I am the "go-to-girl" for drugs. I keep a small container of every kind of OTC drug you can imagine. Everyone knows to come to my class if you need a hook-up :p

I should really ask them to bring me aspirin :D

So I have returned from the scavenger hunt. Would you believe Target is out of:

erasers (basic rectangular size)
two pocket folders (the plastic type is best) - of any kind!

I'll have to figure out what else is missing as I label and unlabel whatever is required... Lil you don't want to teach my boys do ya? :D

I'll send asprin! :)

I read this with mixed feelings.... my youngest starts her senior year of college on the 5th. On one hand I'm thinking 'yea!!... no more running around looking for school supplies'! :) And then on the other hand I'm thinking 'No more running around looking for school supplies!' :(

Nothing is worse than outfitting an elementary student. :rolleyes: It does get better Sal. My kid is in the 10th grade and we get no list. I throw some pens, pencils, paper, and a couple of 1" binders at her. She will come home with certain request for an item but it has been minor since she started middle school. Hang in there! :)

Back in South Dakota we used to get a detailed list but here in Michigan the lists are not as bad. Kiddo used money her dad gave her before the list came out so we had to go back and get a couple of different things.

Yea! There is hope, thanks Tess. I need that kind of encouragement.

Did you try Walmart for the plastic pocket folders? I know I saw them at one near us...maybe a place to start.

I will have to check there I suppose... I was tired and didn't want to be shopping all day!

Thanks ShadowDancer

I totally understand. Only reason I saw them, was I needed the regular kind of plain solid colored 2 pocket folder for a project I've been doing for a lady running a travel tour business.
