Thank you ABC11 WTVD-TV for highlighting #Tools4Schools by following a terrific Wake County Public School System teacher Nancy Cattrell from Apex Friendship High School as she shopped for back to school classroom supplies. https://lnkd.in/edV72Vf8

We want to give a huge shoutout to our amazing #Tools4Schools partner Staples! 🎉 Over the past two years, one of their local stores has generously donated hundreds of school supply kits, but this year they took it to a whole new level to support Wake County Public School System teachers and students. With the support of Staples' corporate HQ, we kicked off our Community Supply Drive with a press event at a local store where we were thrilled to receive a $1,000 Staples gift card. Staples then hosted special Teacher Appreciation events, offered 20% discounts for all teachers, and set up community drop-box locations at all six Wake County Staples stores. And just yesterday, Staples delivered all the supplies donated by their customers and our community directly to Tools4Schools! Thank you, Staples—you truly rock! 💪

Their leadership team dropped off another generous check today and got to meet Team WCPSS Teacher of the Year Ryan Berglund from Millbrook High School who was here helping out.
