According to a national survey on educator buying trends, on average, tow thirds of educators teaching kindergarten through twelfth grade spend $400 a year of their own money on books, puzzles, and other supplies for their classrooms**. Borders can help make these purchases more affordable and provide our local educators with the opportunity to enjoy special events and savings throughout the entire event.
