SCHOOL SUPPLIES FOR NEXT YEAR
Supply lists for Back to School Solutions will be sent home soon. There is no obligation to order your school supplies this way, but it is an option. The school does get a small percentage of all the orders back.
If you are ordering this way, please send your order back to the school with a cheque attached payable to Value Drug Mart and Associates Ltd. by June 27th. You can order online and then choose only the items that you need. Your child may have some supplies left from previous years so you can only order specific items. The deadline for ordering online is August 7th. Kits are then shipped to the school in August and arrive with labels that have your child's name on them, to put on all the supplies.
Please keep the list as that is the only supply list you will get for next year. The lists will also be posted online.
