When you become a teacher, you’re not in it for the money. You’re in it because you love kids and you want to make a difference in their lives. I know that when I went in to Early Childhood Education I wanted to help shape young minds and give them the best start possible.

We all know that teaching isn’t the highest paying profession, but did you know on average teachers spend over $400 a year of their on money on suppies for their classrooms? I can say that I spend money on these kiddos without even thinking about the total cost. They deserve it and it’s stuff we need. Well, Staples recognizes this and is doing something to help defer that cost.

Staples’ Teacher Appreciation Week is August 2-8. During this week Teacher’s can get a coupon for 40% back in Staples Teacher Rewards. That is a fantastic deal to help with the cost of supplies. In addition to the 40% back in Staples® Teacher Rewards, teachers can use the “Staples Less List”, their back-to-school 110% Lowest Price Guarantee and Extreme Deals to save even more!

During Teacher Appreciation Week, teachers can purchase their own customizable teacher planner for only $24.99 (Staples Brand planner normally 39.99). I couldn’t function without my planners so this is amazing. I love seeing companies that recognize the importance of educators!

You can sign up online for the Staples Rewards Membership and find out more about the Teacher Rewards Program on their website!
