Taking Class Supply Lists from
Old School to Thats Cool
If you havent heard about this, please check it out. TeacherLists.com is a free website
that allows teachers & school staff to easily post and share school supply wish lists with
class parents instantly via their school website, email, Facebook, Twitter etc. Simply put,
its the easiest solution for streamlining all teacher lists at St. Mary School.
From pens & pencils to paper towels, teachers need it all; and as out-of-pocket spending
increases by our teachers, the long list of items needed to keep classrooms running
continues to grow. Once a teacher creates a list for their classroom, all lists are saved so
they can be easily updated any time throughout the school year.
The best thing about TeacherLists.com, is that parents can pledge to donate a desired
amount on a single item, various items or pledge a full amount on one or more items.
Teachers are instantly notified, and lists are automatically updated. You just have to bring
in the item once you have pledged it.
Learn more at TeacherLists.com. Search for St. Mary School by our zip code and then
click on your childs classroom. Its that easy. If you would like to donate an item to their
specific wish list, register your email and follow the simple steps.
With TeacherLists.com, parents can now be assured that every item they buy now (and all
year long) meets the needs of their childs teacher.
Learn more at TeacherLists.com.
Finally, school supply lists for the 21
st
century

On behalf of the St. Mary PTO, we would like to thank everyone who braved
the cold weather and joined your St. Mary School family at the Woodhaven

a fantastic representation from all grade levels. If you skated, bounced, played
the arcade games or had your face painted (by the very talented 2clowns.com)

your St. Mary PTO.
