Supply Lists for 2012-2013

This year there is an important change to the supply pre-order process.   Parents may order school supply packs directly from the supplier, Educational Products Incorporated (“EPI”), and all pre-ordered supplies will be delivered to students’ homes the week before school starts. The supply packs will contain items requested by teachers and will offer bulk pricing.

Rising fifth graders, however, will NOT have the option to purchase a pre-packaged supply pack from EPI.  Rising fifth graders will receive a copy of their school supply list with their final 2011-12 report card at the beginning of the summer.

How can you order supplies for rising Kindergarten - 4th Grade Sope Creek Students?

Before June 15, 2012, go to www.epipacks.com

Enter school code SOP001

Follow the directions on the site to find the appropriate grade level supply list Keep your online confirmation as your receipt

Supplies will be delivered to your home during the week of August 6, 2012. Please bring UNOPENED school packs to Meet & Greet on August 9, 2012. If you have any questions about this process please contact Sara O’Dea at odeas@mac.com.

If you choose to purchase supplies at local stores or miss the EPI deadline, please view a copy of each grade level's supply lists:  Download Supply 2012 - 2013 Sope Creek Supply Lists

Stop Hunger Now!

The Sope Creek Service Council is on a mission to raise $7,500 dollars to support the Stop Hunger Now Organization.

Stop Hunger Now is an international hunger relief organization that coordinates the distribution of food and other life-saving aid around the world.

Please visit

www.stophungernow.org to learn more about this amazing organization we have partnered with.

Once we reach our goal each student at Sope Creek will have the opportunity to create a meal and package it for shipping.

As you may recall, we also partnered with this organization last year and the students and teachers had nothing but wonderful things to say about the experience.

Last year the students at Sope Creek packaged over 20,000 meal packages enough to feed 120,000 servings!!

Action :

We are asking students to look under their beds, in their cars, and perhaps do some extra chores to earn money to place in their classrooms collection container. On Monday the money will be collected and given to the Stop Hunger Now Organization. If you would like to donate you can also help by making a check out directly to Stop Hunger Now, and have your child drop it off in the collection basket in the front office.

The Service Council would also like to encourage you to come check out the bagging event that will happen the last week of school in the Sope Creek media center.

Students will be working hard (while having fun) to make a difference in students lives across the globe!

　

Thank You!

The Sope Creek Service Council
