School Supply Kits are an Easy Button Away for Classes

Kearney School District is partnering with Fulfillment House to provide an option for families with children entering grades K-5 to purchase their school supplies in a kit to be delivered to classrooms shortly before the beginning of the academic year.

The KSD School Supply Kits initiative expands an effort already started by Parent-Teacher Organization members in the district to make it very convenient for families to get nearly everything their children will need to start school in the fall.

"Families always have a lot to juggle and we want to make the back-to-school process as easy as possible," Assistant Superintendent for Academic Services Jennifer Kopp said. "We see this as a great opportunity to work with the people at Fulfillment House to help serve our entire community in a really positive way."

Visit www.ksdr1.net/supplykits today to order KSD School Supply Kits for your children. Click on the drop-down and choose your child's grade level, school attending, and enter the last and first name of the student. Click "Add to Cart." Follow this process for each student you choose to purchase supplies for and then proceed to the cart for payment.

The KSD School Supply Kits will include the items listed under each grade level – minus the backpack, earbuds/headphones and optional supplies – included on the 2022-2023 Elementary School Supply Lists.

The number of available kits is limited so that there are adequate supplies for everyone who orders. KSD School Supply Kits will be available for pick-up at your student's school during the annual back-to-school open house. Elementary school open houses will be held from 5 to 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 18.

The 2022-2023 academic year starts on Tuesday, Aug. 23. Visit www.ksdr1.net/back-to-school for important information and valuable resources to prepare for classes to begin.
