Buy Your School Supplies From OfficeZilla and Have Them Shipped Directly to the School


This year we are once again working with our Give-Back Partner OfficeZilla to simplify your school supply purchases.  You can buy all of your child’s supplies on the OfficeZilla website and have them delivered directly to the school.  No hassle for you and the teachers will get your child’s supplies before school starts!

 

How to do it:

 

  1. Go to one of the Officezilla Friends of Mayer landing pages. There are several pages, but you can navigate between the pages by using the drop down menu to select the grade level suggested supplies you’d like to see.

 

 

Or go directly to your grade level via these links:

·        Early Childhood

·        Elementary I Supplies

·        Elementary II Supplies

·        6th Grade Supplies

·        7th-8th Grade Supplies

 

2.       Select the items you want to buy.

 

3.       When checking out you don’t need a promo code for orders that ship to the school, but if you order before August 15, use promo code FreeWipes to get free Lysol wipes included in your order.

 

4.       Enter your child’s name and classroom number in the shipping address.  Put your child's entire name in the first name field and their classroom in the last name field so that at checkout, it will look like this:

 

 

 

5.       If you have several students you are buying for, place a separate order for each student.  

 

6.       Order no later than on August 22.

Playground Equipment Repairs Completed
 


Have your kids played at Trebes Park lately? If you haven't, then you will be excited when you return to school in September to see that all the necessary playground equipment repairs have been made, and the playground looks better than ever for the start of school. All of the equipment has been lowered to the appropriate height for elementary age children, swings have been repaired, rusted parts have been replaced and wood chips have been filled in to provide a more supportive surface for kids to land on when they jump down or slide down off of the equipment. 

A big Thank You to Friends of Mayer for funding this important repair work that our playground desperately needed after many years of wear and tear. Thank you also to the Mayer parent community for supporting TPAC's Spring fundraisers which helped us raise necessary funds to keep the playground in great shape in the future.

Thanks for your continued support,

Trebes Park Advisory Council
