It's that time of year again, time to get those kids back to school! Sequestration is hitting hard, but we can at least get the kids the basic supplies they need to get going. I'm jumping the gun here, since I haven't caught any other okiciyap school diaries go up yet, but the Okiciyap website at okicyap.weebly.com has a starter list up.
Here is the list of supplies that they need. As you're seeing back-to-school sales, we'd be so grateful if you could pick up a few extra things for the kids on Cheyenne River.
5 and 3 subject notebooks
Backpacks or Messenger bag
Markers
Crayons
Scissors
Pens & Pencils
Folders
Binders/Trapper Keepers
Calculators/Scientific & Regular
Glue Sticks and Regular Glue
Pencil Boxes or bags
Erasers
Pencil sharpeners
colored pencils
Rulers
Compass & Protractors
Socks & Undies of all sizes for boys & Girls
I've been seeing the back to school specials hit, so I've got a 30 or 40 lb box of notebooks, pens, and pencils to send out tomorrow. For those looking to join in, those back to school sales have started up, so let's get things moving for the Cheyenne River Reservation kids!
