Dear Parents,
As the third grade teaching team, we would like to welcome you and your child to the E.S. Brown School! In this first letter home, we would like to give you a list of supplies needed for our classes in the fall. Because many of the local stores have such wonderful “Back to School” sales in July and August, we thought you might like to have a list of materials on hand while the prices are reasonable! In past years, Staples has always had great sales on all of the materials listed. We will provide folders for each student. We would greatly appreciate your child having these supplies for the first week of school. Also, if you would kindly mark or label ALL of your child’s belongings to alleviate any “mix-ups” with look alike bags and materials. Thanks so much!
Have a relaxing, safe summer! We are looking forward to a wonderful partnership with you!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Barbara Corey
Miss Carol Maynard
Mrs. Alison Souza
Mrs. Ann Walsh
