Each year, teachers spend an average of $475 of their own money on classroom materials and supplies, according to a report, Teacher Buying Behavior 2006-2007, from Quality Education Data Inc.
"Tighter budgets mean teachers are spending more of their own money to keep their classrooms stocked," said Shira Goodman,executive vice president of marketing for Staples. "In an effort to make starting the new school year easy for teachers, Staples stores are kicking off the back-to-school season with a Teacher Appreciation Day and giving educators tools to keep them organized. Staples is pleased to dedicate a day solely for educators, and it's our way of letting them know how much they are valued."
The first 200 teachers visiting Staples stores on Teacher Appreciation Day, Aug. 4 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., will receive a Staples polybinder that will include a legal pad, paper clips, highlighters and index flags, among other back-to-school accessories and discount coupons. Teachers will have the opportunity to preview new products, learn more about the Staples Copy & Print Center and enroll their school in Recycle for Education, a program that has raised more than $2 million for schools nationwide through a Staples donation of $3 for every eligible ink or laser toner cartridge collected.
Teacher Appreciation Day will be held at the Warsaw Staples store at 3600 Commerce Drive, U.S. 30.[[In-content Ad]]
