School supply distributor School Specialty files for bankruptcy protection

By Rick Barrett of the Journal Sentinel

Check out the above Article re: The Mega Giant School Speciality, and Please consider doing business Locally. We may not be YOUR local school/teacher supply retailer...so please look them up and see what amount of your business they can earn. We have all struggled to survive, thanks in part to some of the practices of SS. I hate to see anyone go out of business but, I also feel for all of the Vendors that they (SS) owe money to struggle as well (Crayola over 4 million). If- you can't find one (local store), we are more than happy to serve you!!

Education Humor

Check out our Camping Themed Bulletin Board Display! We titled it "Ready for S'more Learning!" Perfect for BTS or for a Reading Fun Night! We are all about recycling here at Best so when we punch out the BB Set, we save the extra outer paper and cut that into strips and roll it into a circle. We then adhere that to the BB piece with heavy tape... (we love Mavalus Tape) We will then stick it to the Board- Wallah! Instant 3D BB Display!! Cheap and Easy!

PS- one of our helpers made the fire herself, if you have No Artistic Flair...ask a student, there is so much untapped talent floating around.
