Discounts for Teachers – Save on Organization, Craft and School Supplies

August is here, and soon most children will be back in school. With popular back-to-school discounts in full swing, it’s time to let everyone know there are discounts for teachers, too!

Most of the following offers are available for Kindergarten through high school teachers, though specific rules may apply to each offer, depending on the store.  (And always call ahead to make sure your store participates in the program!)

This list will be divided into categories, but I promise to post all of the categories this week…so keep checking the blog for the latest post!

 Organization, Party, Craft and School Supplies
