Middle School Highlights
Wait... School isn't even out yet! Why are we talking about back to school supplies?! Friends of EDS is offering an option to simplify your back to school shopping through 1st Day School Supplies. You can order basic school supplies online in a few clicks through pre-made lists, and the supplies will be delivered to the classroom for the first day of school.
Please note: additional items (such as headphones, gym shoes, art smocks, etc.) are NOT included in the boxes and will need to be purchased separately. Be sure to check the teacher lists on our website for complete lists.
