“Must have” back-to-school supplies
Posted on by Dave Ashton

The kids will be back in school soon so that’s means it’s back-to-school shopping time!

A new study asked parents what the “must-have” school supplies are this year:

  • The basics like pens, pencils and notebooks
  • A laptop or tablet
  • Backpacks and lunchboxes
  • “Retro supplies” like Trapper Keepers and ’90s gel pens (Jen LOVES this!)
  • Headphones (?)

Our sister station, Z95.5, kicks off their “Backpack Drop” this Saturday, August 13th from 10am-Noon at CFCU on Route 281 in Cortland…drop by and pick up a backpack filled with school supplies while supplies last!
