Expect To Pay Over $70 For 6th Grade School Supplies

Amherst Middle School will soon see a new batch of 6th grade students all geared up and ready to learn.

The school has a list of reccomended supplies for its students on their website. Amherst Patch went through the list and priced it out to give you an idea of how much you will need to spend on your 6th grade student.

The prices are from Walmart and Staples for our search, but you may find other stores with better bargains. In fact, I hope you do.

The official list didn't include a backpack, but I am sure your student will need one. A super cheap one can be found at Walmart.
