Your Time to Shop
With school now in full swing, teachers can take a well-deserved break from grading papers and creating lesson plans to visit Borders in Richmond for special savings opportunities, in-store events and giveaways during “Educator Appreciation Weekend,” Friday, Oct. 3 through Sunday, Oct. 5. According to a recent study by the National School Supply and Equipment Association (NSSEA), 94 percent of teachers surveyed spend their own money for school supplies, with the average teacher plunking down $395 of his or her own cash on supplies and educational materials for use in the classroom. Borders has created “Educator Appreciation Weekend” to salute educators for their tireless work and commitment to their students by giving them a 25 percent discount off regularly priced books, CDs, DVDs, gifts and stationery and cafe items for use in schools or for their personal enjoyment.
