Energy Kit Materials - Where to Order...! What to Buy...!

Aloha Teachers,



Some of you have been asking where to order Energy Kit supplies for your schools. Below is list of some of standard kit items we purchase. We get most of our supplies from Kidwind.org – which was founded by a teacher BTW!



Prices fluctuate and shipping costs are not included on the attached sheets, so check their website and/or call to recheck everything. They are very helpful. They take Purchase Orders or credit cards. You can order directly from their website, however, I find it helpful to call and talk to a person. Re shipping, they can email or fax you a Quote with Estimated Shipping costs, then send an invoice with the exact shipping cost after the order is filled.



Kidwind – Tel. 1-877-917-0079 http://www.kidwind.org/



They are located in Minnesota so it’s a 5 or 6 hour time difference, depending on Daylight Savings Time.



If you find any other great vendors or kit items, please share!
Good luck!
Shannon
