School Supplies: What Flossmoor HIlls Students Will Need

In a few short weeks, local schools will open their doors and fill their seats with area children once again. Coincidentally, school supplies will be flying off the shelves amid bustling crowds and endless checkout lines. If you'd like to get a head start on some of the back-to-school commotion, Patch has compiled a list of the supplies kids will need for each area school.

All second, third, fourth and fifth graders can purchase an assignment notebook from Flossmoor Hills School office.
