No wonder so many can't afford them!!! Take out the backpack and it is still almost $40. And this is for shared items except the backpack.

I also purchased some #3 pencils for TA because they write darker and are easier for him to see. That is the only extra I purchased for him. All this to start kindergarten!

It all had to be there at orientation. The parents were in the cafeteria while the kids visited with their new teachers. It was drizzling outside and guess what...the fire alarm went off. It wasn't a drill. We all had to wait in the rain, but TA thought it was afun adventure, although he was sad to have missed the fire engines and firemen in their gear!
