Staples, Saturn Show Appreciation For Educators And Support Staff

Staples stores and Saturn dealerships nationwide are showing support for teachers and education support professionals during the month of August.

Each Staples store in Wisconsin has designated Saturday, August 28 as "Staples Teacher Appreciation Day." WEAC and NEA members who visit their local Staples store on that day will receive free supplies for the classroom, including pencils, pens, notepads erasers, crayons and more. They will also receive a packet of back-to-school discount coupons worth hundreds of dollars.

In addition, WEAC members who bring proof of membership, like their OnWEAC Savers' Club cards, to Staples on Teacher Appreciation Day will receive exclusive coupons for extra savings.

Members can also pick up a special certificate from Staples on Teacher Appreciation Day to take to a Saturn dealership before September 30. By taking a test drive, they'll receive a $35 Staples gift card and $500 toward the purchase or lease of a new 2004 Saturn vehicle.

Don't forget to bring used inkjet and laser printer cartridges to Staples for reuse and recycling. For every cartridge turned in, the Staples Recycle for Education program will donate $1 to the WEA Professional Development Academy. The PDA will use the money to develop and deliver quality professional development programs to Wisconsin educators.
