School Supply Kits 

Summer will be here before we know it, and now is a great time to take one more thing off your back-to-school to-do list! 

If you haven’t ordered your child’s school supply kit yet, there’s still time. Our teacher-approved kits include the exact supplies requested for next school year and will be delivered directly to the school before classes begin.

 Parents love the convenience because it means:

 No searching multiple stores for supplies

 No guessing if the items are correct

 No last-minute shopping stress in August

 One quick order and you’re done

As the school year wraps up and summer activities begin, it’s easy for back-to-school tasks to sneak up quickly, so we wanted to send a friendly reminder while ordering is still open. 

Order your school kit today at:

Thank you for supporting the Cassingham Elementary school supply kit program!

Beginning Band Camp

Is your student going to be an incoming 5th or 6th grader this summer? Is your student interested in music? If so, please consider a new band camp opportunity this summer that is absolutely free! This camp is perfect for those who are either already signed up for a band next year and want enrichment, or who are unsure if the band is right for them and would like to try out playing an instrument. Although the camp is free, students need to come with an instrument. To access an instrument, check out Music and Arts where a two month rental is $10 or Rettig Music, where rentals are $12 for three months. Those who need assistance will have options for school based instrument rentals. Please reach out to Andy.Johnson@bexley.us with any 

questions.
