The Essex PTO is once again sponsoring a Holiday Wish List to benefit the teachers and staff. We solicited requests from teachers and staff for items they would like for their classrooms. If you plan to purchase something for your teachers and staff, please consider these items. In the past, many parents have coordinated in the effort as a class gift.
PLEASE NOTE IF A TEACHER DID NOT RESPOND, please check their most recent newsletter as many teachers place their wish lists there. All teachers would appreciate classroom supplies and/or gift cards to book stores and craft stores. Also, make sure to check the whole list as some of the fine art teachers and support staff have included items. Please remember that teachers are willing to have recycled or used items.
