Magnificent Deals and a Giveaway worth $125 from OfficeMax

Teachers LOVE magnificent deals.  I'm here to share some special happenings and a massive giveaway from OfficeMax.  With the Back-to-School season upon us, I'm on the hunt for ways to save.  

Happening #1...Teacher Appreciation Days at OfficeMax
To help teachers stock up and save on much needed supplies, OfficeMax is hosting it's special three day Teacher Appreciation Event where teachers save 25 % OFF their purchases. You can sign up for OfficeMax's MaxPerks Teacher Rewards at no charge in stores and online for exclusive coupons.  For more information, please check out www.officemax.com/celebrateteachers for details on Teacher Appreciation events in your community. 

Happening #2...Saving on School Supplies
OfficeMax is providing big deals on education essentials and more throughout the season, offering 25 cent, 50 cent, and $1 values.  Let me just tell you... I scooped up buy two get one free markers this week.  You can mix and max Sharpie and Expo Marker packs.  HELLO, amazing deal, right!?!  You can visit OfficeMax's back to school web page at www.officemax.com/backtoschool to shop or search by zip code for in store and online promotions.

Happening #3...OfficeMax Print Center
I've been asked about different ways to print my decor packs.  I'm aware it's chalkboard backgrounds and the cost can add up with ink.  I sent mine out to have printed.  The quality is better and it's much more cost effective versus purchasing expensive cartridges.  So back to OfficeMax... 

Teacher can also receive special discounts at OfficeMax Print Center in stores nationwide and can select from one of two bundles including:
  • Teacher Value Bundles: 100 BW copies, 1 Poster (18" x 24"), 3 feet of lamination, and 50 business/event cards for $19.99.  (Value $60)
  • Teacher Premium Bundle includes 50 color copies, 2 Posters (18' x 24"), 3 feet of lamination, 50 business/event cards, and a teacher planner for @29.99.  (Value $100)
Happening #4...OfficeMax's A Day Made Better Support for Teachers
OfficeMax is hosting it's annual A Day Made Better In-Store School Supply Drive where community members can donation much needed supplies for local teachers.  The supplies will be donated to local schools on October 1st during the annual A Day Made Better events in which OfficeMax associates surprise 1,000 teachers in their classrooms with a total of $1 million worth of OfficeMax donated school supplies.  Learn more about A Day Made Better at www.adaymadebetter.com.

Happening #5..."Tools for School" Teacher Care Package
I'm honored to work along side OfficeMax to review and giveaway "Tools for School" goodies worth $125.  This package includes...


OfficeMax Binder Clips
$50 OfficeMax Gift Card
OfficeMax Color Paper Clips
TUL Electric Pencil Sharpener
TUL Liquid Pocket Highlighters
Just Basics 36 Pack of #2 Pencils
Papermate 12 Pack of Purple Pins 
OfficeMax Brite Self Stick NotePads
OfficeMax 12 Pack Blue Grip Gel Pins
OfficeMax 8" Stainless Steel Bent Scissors

I'm heading to the store again tomorrow for their new deals of the week.  I found the most adorable Neon Plastic 3 Prong Folders with Pockets that are a must have!  I use them for my homework folders so they last traveling to school and home for the entire school year.

The pencil sharpener is as smooth as butter.  I've given control of my crank sharpener to the kids.  This one will remain hidden in my office.  LOL

I prepared the highlighters in a basket at each desk.  The color corresponds with their group color.  The kids MUST highlight their name before their captain can collect their work.  It's only taken 8 years but I'm becoming wiser than a 6 year old. 

As recommended by Mrs. Deanna Jump during her Guided Reading Presentation in Vegas, I'm keeping the Self Stick Notes on hand for our weekly group sessions.  Looking for another purpose?  I just love Mrs. Sarah Cooley's Sticky Note Research Project.  I used this file for report writing last year.  The kids were so excited to write on the notes!  

The kids use pens for partner editing.  Oh, the power of a "cool" tool.  My kiddos are only allowed to use pens when editing so the novelty won't wear off!  

I use the Binder Clips in my student planners.  Luckily, my school provides planners for daily communication.  The binder clips are used to mark the week so I can move about writing daily notes.  Simple but useful!

My scissors are treasured and purchased new each year.  After a year of cutting tape, glue, and velcro, my old scissors become tough to open and close.  When you get a blister using scissors, you know you need a change. Bahaha!!!  

I sure hope you are excited about the deals.  The giveaway will end on Friday August 2nd and a winner is automatically generated.  This giveaway will be featured for only a week to ensure your supplies arrive before the school year begins!  For those that are already back in school, I'm sure you want this collection of goodies asap!

I love when they have certain products for one cent. One year I stocked up on like 50 folders...I couldn't believe they didn't set a limit (or, maybe my cashier didn't know better-hehe).

All of these ideas are great! I'm a second- year teacher, but I'm getting my very own classroom this school year, so I'm gaining a ton of ideas through reading blog posts and Pinterest. And even though we're teaching different age levels (I'll have freshmen and juniors), I think I can adapt your ideas for my classroom. Thanks for posting!

Unknown said...

I love office supplies, both for at home and in my classroom! I'd be excited about everything in the giveaway, but if I had to choose one, I'd go with the OfficeMax Brite Self Stick Note Pads. So many uses for them! l_schnoor@hotmail.com
