Families, we know school just got out for the summer but sometimes it’s easier to slowly collect the items for Back-to-School instead of waiting until the last minute. In case you wanted to get started early, below is the required school supply list for each student for the 26-27 school year! ✏️📚📓
⭐️📘Don’t forget, READ a little every day over the summer!
