New catalog makes getting ready for back-to-school simpler

Posted by staff on Aug 01 2010 | Back to School

Wow. That was fast! Summer came, and now is nearly gone. Soon students will pour through your doors and await the launch of a brand new school year. Our newly updated catalog is designed to make it easier for you to get everything you need for the new year in one convenient place.

In addition to art and craft supplies, stickers, and room decor, you’ll also find over 650 new items plus hundreds of new products from Staples, too.

Throughout the catalog there are simple craft projects to help foster creativity and give you a turn-key project. For example, to give your students an invigorating kinesthetic experience, try the Make-Your-Own Clay Creations Project in the Arts & Crafts Modeling section of the catalog (in the purple section). You’ll see a couple of finished products along with a suggested supplies list making it easy to find everything you’ll need to launch your project.

While you’re paging through the catalog, be on the lookout for our Smiles Scholars. These are teachers who volunteer to try out new products and give us their feedback on how to use them effectively in the classroom. You’ll see a picture of all of these wonderful teachers when you open the catalog and then you’ll find them individually throughout the catalog. They share insight on their favorite products as well as ideas on getting the most educational value from games, crafts, activities, and more.

School is just around the corner. Please let us know how we can help you get ready for school with lots and lots of smiles!

Getting ready for a new school year

Posted by staff on Jul 18 2010 | Back to School

Another school year is upon us and we’re here to help you with ideas to decorate, educate, motivate and save.

Start off the school year with Scholastic’s NEW Monsters Back To School Bulletin Board Set. These cute Monsters will brighten up your classroom and give a warm welcome to your students on those first days back at school. We have a coordinated trimmer, chart, notepad, and computer paper too!

Games make learning fun! Check out our large selection of games and activities to use during lessons and recess.

Are you looking for rewards that motivate? You’ll get a stamp of approval from your students with these fun NEW stampers.

We’ve also expanded our catalog by 40 additional pages filled with over 650 new products from Staples to make it easier for you to get all your school supplies.

Though it’s the middle of summer, we’re working hard to help you be prepared for a brand new school year (next month, right?)!
