Warning: Summer is almost over!

School is coming, summer is ending. First day back for Fox students is August 17th!

 

Here it is nearing the end of July. We noticed school supplies pushed and advertised in stores for a couple of weeks already. When I checked some of the stores a week or so ago, I did not find my school's supply list.

I remembered not seeing it posted anywhere and going through a lot of hoops in the past to ensure the kiddos had the proper supplies before the first day back in school.

So since it is already the end of July, there is still plenty of time for most of us to get started on the back to school shopping.  I found a great website online that has schools listed and a printer friendly version of the supply lists.  

Go to this website and simply plug in your zip code, then choose the school and the grade your child is entering. Your list will come up, and there will be an option for a printer friendly version.  Are you ready for school to resume?

As part of The International Coalition for Autism and All Abilities (ICAA)'s Mind the Gap project, we will be working on annual school supply drives/distribution. We are trying to ensure this year will be the first annual drive. Our HUB is located at 200 Crestwood Plaza St. Louis, MO 63126 for more information, or you can connect through our website. If you would like to volunteer, donate, or help this effort in some other way, please connect with us at your earliest convenience!
