service ensures your child/children have the school supplies they need next year
without having to run to five different stores to find them. Pre-packaged supplies
are not a fundraiser for the PTA.
Each kit contains exactly what is on
your child’s supply list plus a bonus item or two. In addition, the entire
package comes in a personalized kit, with your child’s name labeled on the
reusable storage box.
Supplies can be ordered using the link below
Lees Corner Elementary | School-Pak
Orders placed online by June 8, 2017 will be sent
directly to Lees Corner. Orders can still be placed online until July 12, 2017
but will include a delivery fee and be sent to your home address. If you DO NOT receive an email
confirmation from School Pak, you order HAS NOT been placed.
If school supplies are ordered by

the school!

About Those Recorders...

Parents – Hang on to those recorders!
As we finish up the year we
are sending home recorders with students. They are welcome to practice

Classroom). These recorders should be cleaned, either in soapy water or
the top shelf of the dishwasher, and stored in a safe place to bring back to
Lees Corner in the fall.
