SCHOOL SUPPLIES FUNDRAISER
The 2026/2027 School Supply Store will open SOON! The PTO is partnering with The Write Stuff to provide each family with the convenience of purchasing their child’s 2026/2027 school supplies online. Supply lists will be provided by Colts Neck teachers and all of your child’s supplies will be delivered to their classroom on day one.
Once the store opens, orders must be in by July 4th to receive FREE shipping directly to school and to CUSTOMIZE the list to eliminate items that you already have. Make sure to order supplies for your child's upcoming grade level. We will notify you once the store is open!
While using this service comes with some additional cost, there’s no obligation to purchase the entire list of supplies and all proceeds benefit our children as a PTO fundraiser. Thank you for your support!
For questions, please contact Kara Brick at vp@coltsneckpto.org.
