Wish List
We have asked teachers to put together Wishlists of materials they wish they had around their classroom. Some of the items they’re wishing for this year include books, computer speakers, sit spots, jeweler’s loupes for science observation, National Geographic Kids subscriptions, privacy screens, and handbell sets!
Wishlists are regularly updated so if you don’t see a list for your student’s teacher, keep checking! Specialist teachers also have Wishlists!
If you’d like to purchase something off a teacher’s Wishlist, please mail the item to yourself and send it in with your child or drop it off at the front office. Please don’t ship the item directly to the school!
