Target is rolling out its inaugural Teacher Prep event, a week dedicated to helping educators save on essential classroom supplies. Running from July 15 to July 21, this initiative aims to lighten the financial load for teachers who often dip into their own wallets to ensure their students are well-equipped for the school year.
During this special week, educators can find discounts on a range of select classroom supplies, from pens, pencils, crayons, and markers to essential items like tissues, hand sanitizer, and classroom storage solutions, as highlighted on their blog. To participate, teachers can visit Target.com/teacherprep starting July 15, verify their educator status, and obtain a coupon code. Just a heads up—the site goes live on Sunday, so don’t panic if you visit before then and see a blank page.
As if we needed another reason to adore Target! This year, the beloved retail giant is committed to making back-to-school shopping a breeze. Their corporate blog reveals fun activities like hopscotch in the backpack aisle and a Bullseye the dog “selfie station” in the kids’ clothing section. And for those who thrive on organization, they offer a School List Assist feature to help with planning.
A recent study by the National Center for Education Statistics found that a staggering 94 percent of teachers reported using their personal funds for classroom supplies. The average out-of-pocket expense? A whopping $479—nearly double the $250 tax deduction available to educators.
Mark Thompson, Target’s executive vice president and chief merchandising officer, stated, “With many teachers gearing up for the upcoming school year, the Teacher Prep Event provides a way for them to access the supplies they need at a better value. It’s our way of recognizing their dedication to going above and beyond for their students.”
