Staples is making it easy for teachers to have the tools they need to do their job by hosting a Teacher Appreciation Day at store locations across the country.
According to the National Education Association's research department, 92 percent of public school teachers spend, on average, $475 on classroom materials for their students.
"Every year, teachers selflessly continue to reach into their own pockets to pay for supplies to keep their classrooms stocked throughout the school year," said Demos Parneros, president of U.S. Stores for Staples Inc. "As part of our continued dedication to teachers, Teacher Appreciation Day is our way of thanking them for the work they do each day and to make it easy for them to get the supplies they need to do their job."
The first 100 teachers visiting Staples stores on Teacher Appreciation Day Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon will receive an Avery Binder filled with paper, a pencil pouch and supplies.Teachers also will have the opportunity to preview new products and services at Staples, such as Welcome Bulletin Board Sets, Storage Pocket Charts and Crayola® Washable Dry-Erase Crayons.
New this year, Staples is offering teachers a special copy and print promotion throughout the back-to-school season of 5-cent black and white copies of classroom materials.
Teacher Appreciation Day will be held Saturday at the Warsaw Staples store, 3600 Commerce Drive, U.S. Highway 30.
