According to a spokesperson for the event, the following items are needed: white glue, large erasers, glue sticks, crayons, markers, color pencils, pencils, pens (blue or black ink), dry erase markers, safety scissors and regular scissors, two-pocket folders, wide-ruled notebooks, wide-ruled loose leaf paper, 2-inch, 3-ring binders, composition or spiral notebooks, dividers (at least 6), packs of graph paper, rulers (inches and centimeters), highlighters, 3x5 index cards (white), protractors, basic calculators, graphing calculators, and compasses.
