I've got a family member that teaches that grade level and I've never heard of kids bringing more than boogers and backpacks. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

If the school is asking for all those items, I'd be asking some pointed questions at the next school meeting. What school doesn't have band-aids and just who do they think is going to need a sling for a broken arm?

And at that rate, EVERY kid with a potential broken arm, etc? Hmm... strange.
