School Supplies Sale
2025-2026 School Supplies Sale
The supply sale is now closed. Please email hoover@melrosepto.com if you’d like to still participate, and we’ll see if we can make something work!
Let the Hoover PTO erase a task off your summer to-do list — we’ll check off the school supplies so you don’t have to pencil it in. All supplies will be delivered to your student’s classroom before the first day of school, and labeled if needed.
The Core Student Supplies, $30, includes all the write stuff your student needs, customized to their teacher’s supply list. Bonus: a small donation to the PTO is already written in.
For extra credit, you can also purchase optional Classroom and Cleaning Kits, $10 each.
Order by Monday, Jun 16 at 11:59pm. See our FAQs

FAQs
Q: Is there anything else I need that’s not included in the order?
A: Just two things—headphones and a backpack. Working headphones can be reuse from previous years.
Q: What’s up with the optional kits?
A: Optional classroom and cleaning kits ($10 each) help support shared supplies. This helps out more classes, like art, music, PE, and more. Totally optional—but they go a long way toward keeping things running smoothly for teachers and students.
Q: Will my student receive quality materials and the correct colors for folders and notebooks?
A: Yes! The PTO is carefully sourcing all supplies, including trusted brands like Crayola, Ticonderoga, Expo, and Sharpie. For items like notebooks and colored pencils, we’re using quality store brands from Target and Walmart. We’ll also make sure each student receives the specific folder and notebook colors requested by their grade.
Q: How will I possibly remember I purchased this come August?
A: We’ve got you covered—we’ll send a reminder email in August to confirm your order and let you know it was delivered to your student’s classroom.
Q: It’s past the deadline, but I still want to order. Is there another option?
A: Email us at hoover@melrosepto.com, and we’ll see if we can work something out!
