Be sure to make arrangements for early pick-up, and let’s kick off the school year strong! 💙💛

Washington Pre-K and K parents. We were delighted to meet you all today and give each student 'ready confetti' to ease the transition on their first day. Go Wildcats! 💙💛

We get it—45 glue sticks might sound like a lot. But believe it or not, those little guys disappear A LOT faster than you’d think! ✂️

And when teachers request brands like Ticonderoga and Crayola, it’s not because they’re being bougie—it’s because they actually work the way they are supposed to. Seriously. (No one wants their child spending half the day sharpening pencils that keep snapping!)

Here’s the thing: quality supplies last longer, perform better, and keep your kids from having a meltdown over broken crayons. Plus, did you know teachers often dip into their own wallets to cover supplies when they run out? Yep, it’s true. 🤑

Check out the link below for an article that sheds some light on why these supply lists are more necessary than you might realize.

Thanks for supporting our teachers and helping make this school year awesome! 💛💙
