We encourage you to be environmentally friendly and reuse items from previous school years if they are still in good condition. Also, supplies that are in good condition after this school year can be saved and used for the next school year.
It is helpful to reinforce crayon, marker, and colored pencil boxes with packing tape. The bottoms of these tend to get worn out and fall open after lots of use. You can tape along the bottom and around the lower sides to help keep the box together.
