Staples plans event for teachers

E-Mail Print reprint or license

Staples is making it easier for teachers to have the tools they need to do their job by hosting a Teacher Appreciation Day at stores across the country, including Modesto, Riverbank, Turlock and Manteca.

The first 100 teachers visiting Staples stores Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. will receive an EcoEasy bag of supplies such as notepads and writing tools. Teachers can preview new products and services at Staples, such as 3M supplies, Art Skills Neon Quick Letters and Crayola Color Switcher Markers.

Staples is offering teachers a special Copy & Print promotion throughout the back-to-school season of 5-cent black and white copies of classroom materials.

According to the 2008 National School Supply and Equipment Association Retail Market Awareness Study, teachers reported spending $395 of their own money in the 2007-08 school year, with first-year teachers spending an average of $770 of their own money on classroom products.
