Rainbow Contents Sorry, we can't accept a box or backpack that does not contain all of the following 14 items. We do this so that every box is equal. The 15th item is optional. Extra items like chalk and erasers, teaching tools, toothpaste and brushes for the entire class, atlas, encyclopedia, sports equipment, etc., are important too and may be placed in a Teacher's Box.
