[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't mind buying Lysol wipes, kleenex, dry erase markers, etc... for the teachers throughout the year. But I won't buy the kits. The quality of the supplies they put into those kits is horrible. The notebooks, folders, pencils, and glue sticks are all the cheap, flimsy options at Staples. I'd rather suck it up and deal with the crowds at the big box stores to get Mead, Crayola, Elmers and other more durable brands, even if they do get pooled. There has to be working markers somewhere in the box![/quote] Our PTA does their own kits- so they control the quality. They just buy in bulk and get really good deals. Some of which are passed to the parents the rest is the fund raising part. In the years we have been at ES, I never found the required things on my own to be cheaper than the PTA supplied kits. They have been doing for 10+ years and have it down pat. [/quote]
