“I love Companies to Classrooms--I use it
every year, for those things we really
need but have to purchase on our own
because our school can’t provide them.
They are a big help. Our entire team
office is furnished with chairs and other
furniture from C2C”

Letters from Teachers:
Students achieving higher scores on spelling tests
to receive a light-up pen
Front-office staff shocked by only spending $2.36
on supplies for 1 year
Elastic bands create a Phy Ed lesson that not
only provides students with a Chinese jump
rope that they can take home but incorporates
lessons in culture, math and learning across
several grade levels
