I've only just glanced at the list the last couple years. A few years back I asked and was told they keep everything on the lists so teachers can build up classroom stock...just in case. Lists are created by the district board, not the individual teacher. Even the 3rd grade teachers are kind of upset that crayons are still on their lists, they don't use them. The hall closet is full of supplies. Kind of looking forward to purging that after they go to college.
