Back-To-School “Chip-In” Teacher’s Gift with Office Max

This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Office Depot, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #inspirestudents https://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV

When my kids go back to school there are two things I always try to accomplish right off the bat:

1. The teacher knows I am there for him or her, on their side, and willing to do my part.
2. My child feels comfortable and confident in the classroom and with his or her teacher.

And I am sure I am not alone. I am sending my kids off to spend a huge part of their day in the care of someone else. That someone (Teacher) needs to know I have his or her back, and my kid needs to feel comfortable with that individual. So I found a way to accomplish both of these things with a fun and eazy peazy back-to-school teacher gift.

I start by  creating a back-to-school gift packed with lots of school supplies the teacher can use all year to stay organized. I assembled it in a cute little bucket and wrapped it with cellophane. Eazy Peazy! A back-to-school gift can be a great way to start the year off on the right foot, and teachers love getting things for the classroom!

I included: Sharpies, PaperMate Pens, Glue Sticks, A Ruler, and a few fun and colorful pens and markers!

I went to Office Max to shop for all of these fun school supply goodies, and saved a lot doing so. Office Max is a great place to get all of the school supplies for this gift because they offer great back to school pricing and savings. My kids are in a language immersion program, and have 2 teachers each. I have 3 school aged kids, so that means 6 teachers!! SIX! So those savings really help! If you want to save too (Duh!) be sure to join the Office Depot Rewards program and save $5 off your purchase of $20 or more on Select Newell Rubbermaid Brands: PaperMate, Expo Neon Window Markers, Sharpie, Uni-Ball, & Mr. Sketch.

And of course, with this kit I include a simple note, which I attached to a stack of the Best Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies ever!

Seriously drool worthy! And the perfect tie in for the message that you are willing to “Chip-In” in the classroom, at home, or wherever they need you during the year.

So we got the first part done. The teacher knows we have his or her back, and we want to chip-in! But how do we help our kids feel comfortable? I have found with my kids that the more they familiarize themselves with something, the more comfortable they feel. So, I found a darling Getting to Know You Printable over at the blog Eighteen25 that will only take a few moments for the teacher to fill out using a Uni-Ball pen. They just circle their preferences or write in a one word answer and return it to the child .

You can find that cute printable here.

There you have it! A simple back to school gift the teacher can actually use in the classroom, and that helps your child too! So go head over to Office Max to get everything you need at a great price!
