Send to a Friend

Parents of school-age children: Do your children's schools want you to send a lot of stuff for the beginning of the school year (see my list)?

My daughter starts kindergarten in September. This is what the school is asking from each parent:
2 boxes washable Crayola Classic markers
1 box 12 ct colored pencils
1 box tissues
2 boxes of 24 Crayola crayons
2 boxes of primary pencils, one with erasers, one without
1 pair Westcott microban blunt scissors
2 plastic folders
1 marble cover composition book
1 pack (4 ct) Expo low odor dry erase markers
1 large container of Wet Ones
2–4 oz Elmer’s Glue-All (not school glue)
1 large backpack for twin pocket folder, lunchbox, snack bag and
2 library books
1 oversized T-shirt for art smock. No buttons or ties. Please put
smock in large ziplock bag (2 gal) with the “easy slider” or
“zipper” feature
1 small storage box for crayons, scissor, pencils
3 large Elmer’s Glue sticks

I have no problem buying whatever, and I would never complain, but this is a lot of specific stuff for a kindergarten child. I was just wondering how this compares to other kids’ requirements among other Jellies’ families.
