Order School Supplies for 2023-24 NOW!
Did you know that you can order school supplies from the PTA now and be all prepared for the 2023-24 school year? If you order online, through the PTA:
– the teacher gets the exact supplies they want,
– the teachers have time to organize the supplies before the students arrive,
– there are fewer issues in the classroom since the students will have all the same supplies,
– and you don’t have to do ANYTHING past clicking a few buttons!
– The supplies will be shipped directly to Edison the week before school starts. Volunteers will deliver your students’ supply pack directly to their teacher! Edison makes about $3 a pack, which is not a lot, but it helps contribute to the PTA Fund. And yes, the supply list has been double-checked! To order supplies:
