2009-2010 Classroom School Supplies

As a service to parents, and to stretch your dollars by buying in bulk, the PTA prepurchases back-to-school classroom supplies for every El Carmelo student (such as pencils, markers, paper, glue, folders, tissues, etc.) In return, we ask that you reimburse the PTA $25 per child on the One Check Form you will receive in the summer August mailing.
