Whether you’re enrolled in K-12, a college student or parent of either, there are items you will need to get the new year started right. We shopped for our school supply list back in August, but there are still more supplies we’ll need during this new season.
The school year is a fresh start, a new opportunity to do thing differently. To learn from the previous year’s mistakes. Our hope is to be organized so that we can all do our best this year – whatever our responsibilities are.
Sharpie Clearview
We love these clever new highlighters from Sharpie! Prioritize the homework list and remember those key notes by brightly highlighting only what’s most important. With Sharpie Clear View’s see-through tip, it’s easy to see exactly what you’re highlighting, so you’ll always know where to start and when to stop. $9.99; Target

As a mom of 4 this is a good list to have as I have a college Sophomore, Hs Freshman, 5th grader and preschool who just started school and there will be things that they will need the whole year round as they attend the school year.
Omg so many must have items!!! A great reminder that I really do need to restock on greens for the household
That Alkamind looks like something I would need. Sometimes, the stress can make me turn towards fast food fare. I need these 27 superfoods in my diet. Glad that it is all in one convenient sachet.
I’ve never heard of Lil Snappers before! That is so cool that they are kid sized! Those sharpie highlighters look awesome!
I LOVE sharpies. Lil snappers is brilliant! My littles typically leave half an apple… grrr…
I homeschool but I still stock up this time of year. Our homeschool classroom is now fully restocked!
I am a teacher and I need all of these things that you have listed here, especially the sharpie pens.
Whoa highlighters have come a long way since I was in school. Those look so cool! And I’m loving those daily greens single serve packets. I definitely need them.
I love sharpie pens! They are one of my favorites to use and one I frequently re buy!
