ORDER School Supply Kits
It’s time to order school supply kits for next year!
The school supply sale runs NOW through June 1, 2022
Our South Park teachers have curated a tailored list of supplies that are pre-packed, cost-effective and hassle free. Order now and we will deliver right to your child’s classroom.
Our teachers love it when parents purchase the pre-packed school supplies option because every student will have the same set of supplies and is ready to go on the first day of school. Parents love the program because it is easier than running from store to store to get all of the items.
To order your supplies, visit: http://www.northshorecoalition.org/
