Back to School
August. It’s almost here. That month of bittersweet feelings for all. I remember as a child being disappointed that all the good times of summer were about to be over,
Rock-Paper-Scissors

Just as you were starting to get a handle on the summer routine, Back To School time has peered around the corner.
Back to School Shopping Starts Now!
When you see the back to school displays in the stores, you know that summer is half way over. Or you realize that retailers are an overzealous lot.

Don’t get me wrong, I loved my Trapper-Keeper, but my lunch box not only could express my individuality (which wasn’t…
The good ol’ days…recess!
I was on the phone the other day with a teacher, and she was asking about one of our products that we carry. She was getting her classroom ready for the coming year, and needed some supplies from us. So we were talking and laughing about being in school during the late 70’s and through…
When you see the School Supplies display…
You know that summer is half way over. Or you realize that retailers are an overzealous lot. Stores are filled with big yellow displays full of pencils, pens, pads, protractors, small refrigerators and computers. Almost anything in a store can be considered a back-to-school supply, especially when you take college kids into account. I love…
