[quote=Anonymous]OP, not sure if you are still reading this, but I was in your position once.  Don't worry about all the decor and prizes and such - really, you don't need that stuff.  But I remember being horrified when I realized that I didn't have any crayons or books.  NO BOOKS.  Like, not one.  And the school library would only lend me a few at a time, and then I'd have to pay for anything that was lost (inevitable if you want the kids to be able to use the books).

My advice is, if you need things like crayons and books and paper, really basic things, you can probably get those for free.  Parents have tons of that stuff around - I know I have at least a school library right here in my house.  Most of us are happy to give it away to a good cause (versus trying to yard sale it).  Try posting on facebook in a mom's group and asking for specific things, like books or crayons or craft supplies.  I think people will donate a ton of stuff to you.  I know in Fairfax we have several facebook grouops that would work (like Nova moms, and so on).  [/quote]
