Hello AFIA families! We are excited for the upcoming school year to begin and know many families are taking advantage of tax-free weekend in Missouri (Aug 2nd-4th) for back to school necessities. With that in mind, here is a link to the school supplies list that was sent to you in July. If you need assistance in attaining free school supplies, Mrs. Daniels (School Social Worker), has compiled the following list of community resources providing free school supplies and other back to school resources.
