We are excited to announce that we are continuing to use School Toolbox for our school supply boxes this year. This program will save you time and make back-to-school shopping less of a hassle. The kits contain items that have been specifically requested by our teachers for each grade. School Toolbox offers brand name products in their kits such as Crayola®, Fiskar's®, Elmer's®, and more. Some of the great benefits include:

* Customize your list! If you already have a pair of scissors at home, take this item out of your box and save.
* Orders ship right to your home.
* Order now and have your box shipped in August.
* Free shipping! All orders over $50 will ship for free.

We believe you will find the pricing to be reasonable and comparable to what you would spend when driving around from store to store during the back-to-school rush. Head to www.schooltoolbox.com, click pre-built boxes and search for Horace Mann Elementary. Orders must be placed no later than August 15 in order to receive them in time for school. Please contact Walaa Kotayet at walaa_kotayet@yahoo.com with any questions!
