Office and craft supplies can be ordered through the BLAST supply order form. These items are stored in "Bekka's Box" and are consumables such as pencils, paper, paint, craft supplies, etc. All of these items are "free" for you. 

Other Needed Supplies

Supplies not available from Bekka's Box can be ordered through Amazon or Office Depot.

  • Office Depot- Create a cart on the Office Depot website and share it with Bekka.

Purchasing supplies on your own and requesting reimbursement will not be approved.

Food, such as pizza for celebrations, and prize incentives are not allowed to be purchased with grant funds. You can use your CARD budget for these items. Anything considered a gift of public funds may not be purchased. If you are not sure if an item is appropriate for purchase please ask Bekka.  

Playground Equipment & Balls

Basketball, soccer, football, foursquare, gator balls, hula hoops, games, craft items, jump ropes, flags, cones, bandanas, sidewalk chalk, markers, and puzzles can be purchased with the district ASP budget. Please contact Bekka if you need replacement PE equipment. Most sites currently have most of the playground equipment needed to start the school year.  Each site has a whole set of quality SPARK equipment. This equipment is stored on your site in the ASP shed, the shed is specifically for the ASP program to store equipment. This equipment is for ASP use only and should not be used by school day teachers or recess. Make sure all equipment is labeled "BLAST (your school site)."

Homework Bins

Pencils, paper, books, pencil sharpeners, erasers, dry erase markers and erasers, crayons, colored pencils, academic games etc. Each Leader should have a fully stocked bin of supplies for homework time. At no time should staff or students use any supplies found in classrooms.

Walkie Talkies

Make sure they are always charged and in good working order (labeling them with the color groups is required). Your program will rely heavily on walkie talkie use to retrieve students for parents and moving students around to rotations and enrichment. Use them professionally and minimize communication to necessary information. Earpieces are required for all staff. Students may not use the walkies. 

CARD Site Budgets

Each program is given a site budget from CARD for each year. You can find this budget in the CARD ASP Staff Google Drive under the Site Supervisors folder. You can request supplies with your CARD Recreation Coordinator. Purchases will be deducted from your site budget on the Google Drive. 

CARD Equipment Check Out

In the supply room at the CARD Office, there is special equipment that you may check out to use at your program. To reserve or check out items, refer to the Equipment Check Out document in the CARD ASP Staff Google Drive.
