SSPJ Staff Wishlists

Wish lists are designed to give parents and friends of SSPJ School a way to donate items that classes need. Teachers have submitted these lists of suggested items to let you know what they would like to use to supplement your child's educational experience.

Please peruse the lists often, as teachers' needs change frequently. They will be updated as often as new requests are submitted.

If you choose to donate any item from the lists, please send or bring it to the school's main office labeled with the teacher's name and grade or class.
