    WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?

    We need accurate information to successfully serve students.

  • Families may choose to support the BVAPT fundraiser, and purchase kits online until July. After the ordering window closes, families still have the option to use the lists below to purchase supplies on their own. 

    Brands requested are those that have proven to work best in a classroom setting. 

    While we appreciate the support, all supply purchases are optional; we always ensure every child has what they need. As always, donations of extra supplies from these lists are greatly appreciated. 

    *Please do not label supplies, as they may be shared in the classroom; some supplies may need to be replenished mid- year.
