Update on 2025-2026 Supplies
As we officially wrap up another incredible school year, we want to thank you for your continued partnership and support.
Our team is hard at work moving your 2025-26 supplies into production. It's hard to believe we're preparing for the next school year already!
Shipments are on the move and schools are starting to receive their supplies. While summer is just getting started, many campuses will open their doors in July for various in-service days.
We're working ahead to ensure donated supplies are ready and waiting for the first day of school - which will be here before we know it.
Thank you for helping us make that possible!

Summer To Do List: Build School
Relationships Now
Looking to start next year off on the right foot? Summer is the perfect time to strengthen your connections with school administrators and staff. A little effort now, can go a long way throughout the school year.
-
Check to see when administrators return and surprise them with a breakfast, coffee or small treat to show appreciation.
-
Ask about "Meet the Teacher" events and explore ways you can support or contribute.
​
A simple, thoughtful gesture now can set the tone for a strong and successful school year ahead.
Pro Tip: Track School Affiliations
If you're a location-based business, now's the time to get strategic about your audience. Understanding your clients' school affiliations can give you a competitive edge in community engagement and brand visibility.
​
-
Use the summer to map out school school connections within your client base. A little research now can refine your marketing efforts for the year ahead.
-
Leverage these insights for targeted outreach. Knowing where your clients' families are connected allows you to tailor event support, sponsorships, and promotions that resonate.
-
Stay ahead of the curve by positioning your business in the spaces that matter most - where your clients learn, gather and grow.

A well-informed approach ensures you're not just present, but actively engaged in the right places.
