You’ve probably seen them already: those adorable rubber bracelets shaped like horses, bears, dogs, and other fascinating creatures. Kids love them. They don’t wear just one either—they wear a BUNCH all at once. Nice thing about rubber band bracelets, they’re economical and nearly always bring a smile (a smile for the one getting another supply of them, and a smile for everyone who happens to see them wearing the bracelets!).

We have a good supply economical rubber band bracelets available to help you spread smiles all over the place.

Teachers are often the “unsung heroes” of the community. Behind the teachers are the “heroes” of the robust army of educational support professionals who make the logistics and so many other things work.

While we were in Winston-Salem for the NCAE Regional Assembly, we had a chance to meet Mr. Jameel Williams who is the NC ESP Person of the Year. He says sometimes the students think he is superman, but he gets scared too, especially as the bus driver on snow days!
