Why Your School Needs These Back-to-School Essentials

Leave a comment

School supplies aren’t what they used to be. We can remember a time when the only thing that differentiated you from the student next to you was the image on your Trapper Keeper. Times have changed. Now students have access to hundreds of supplies with various images, colors, and designs.

Whether you’re preparing to donate to a school in need, buy supplies for your own school, or looking to make a wish list for organizations looking to help your school, DollarDays has everything you need. We can help you find all the school essentials with our back-to-school favorites.

Forward Backpacks
No back-to-school supplies list is complete without a backpack. We love the Forward backpacks because they are available in a variety of sizes to match the needs of students in all grades. The designers at Forward understand that bigger kids need bigger bags. Similarly, kids in lower grades won’t get weighed down by backpacks twice their size.

You can find these backpacks in a variety of bright colors to suit any taste. We also offer some that include basic supplies like notebooks and writing utensils. These backpack kits are available at unbeatable wholesale prices.

Cleaning Supplies
Cleaning Supplies are now a must for every classroom. Help maintain a safe environment with a supply of wipes, disinfectants, masks, and other items to keep classes tidy and sanitized. With so many students, desks, and shared spaces, wipes and disinfectants are used often and in abundance. We’ve got quality wipes, sprays, and cleaning solutions in a variety of quantities to stock any class.

We’ve also got plenty of cloth and disposable mask to choose from. Keeping masks handy is a great way to stop the spread of germs. Stocking individual students with hand sanitizer is easy with our bulk hand sanitizers in a variety of fragrances (like these in adorable containers).

Crayola Products
No matter the grade or subject, all students need basic Crayola supplies like markers and colored pencils. They are perfect for all their arts and crafts projects but also help shade fractions, color maps, and are helpful in science labs. Ensure they don’t run out mid-year and buy in bulk to save money.

And don’t forget Crayola’s line of unique classroom items like calendars and even decorate-your-own desk shield and face shield kits.

Toys and Games

School doesn’t have to be all worksheets and long division. Give your favorite school a supply of fun coloring and activity books. Teachers love having these supplies on hand for kids who finish early or need occasional breaks.

We also love the power of “boring” supplies turned exciting with fun designs and features. Kids love these animal-shaped erasers and scratch-and-sniff pencils.

Yoobi

Yoobi is one of our favorite brands not just because of their trendy DIY school supplies, but also because they are committed to giving. With every purchase made, Yoobi gives back to a community in need.

But sure, we also really love the trendy supplies that will make every kid feel like they have the coolest, most popular supplies. Check out this constellation spiral notebook and these adorable Macaron Charm Mini Markers. All kids will fit right in with Yoobi’s funky school supplies.

Donating school supplies no longer means outfitting a needy district with flimsy products and generic designs. With DollarDays, you can give students not just what they really need, but what they really want: cool supplies at even cooler prices.

Even if you’re just wrapping up the school year and looking forward to summer break, back to school will be here before you know it. Don’t be caught off guard scrambling to get everything on your school supply list. Start thinking about stocking up now so you and your kiddos can have a stress-free start to the year.

Now is also a great time to consider the importance of school supplies for kids and communities in need. New school supplies help kids start the year on the right foot, so they can feel confident, prepared, and focused on their learning. According to Teach For America, “For students whose families cannot afford supplies, coming to school unprepared can create social and emotional challenges, in addition to putting kids at a disadvantage for learning.”

With schools increasingly placing the burden of pricey school supplies on parents and teachers, it can add even more stress to families just trying to make ends meet. In a survey by the National Center for Education Statistics, “94 percent of teachers spend their own money to stock their classrooms with the necessary supplies and resources.”

One way to give back to your community, to show appreciation for teachers, or to help kids in need, is to help offset some of the costs of school supplies with a donation. DollarDays makes it easy to give back with great deals on quality products at wholesale prices. Here are just a few of the brands we love.

Yoobi
Kids love Yoobi for their fashion-forward, cute school supplies. We love Yoobi because of their focus on giving back. For every item purchased, Yoobi donates a school supply to a child in need. Yoobi understands the importance of providing all children with the tools they need to learn and reach their potential.

Crayola
There’s a reason Crayola has been around forever, they continue to take creativity to the next level with new product offerings like window crayons, innovative craft kits, trending character designs and so much more. Kids will love completing all their assignments with new Crayola crayons and markers.

French Toast
Thanks to several different studies, school uniforms are becoming increasingly popular in schools across the country. In an article on Public School Review, “uniforms on campuses have reduced tardiness, skipped classes, suspensions, and discipline referrals among students. In addition…school pride has increased.” French Toast has got kids covered with a wide selection of the most popularly used school uniforms in bulk from basic polos to pants and everything in between.

Big Box
Big Box is a DollarDays exclusive brand with everything you’re looking for at unbeatable prices. They have all your essential bulk school supplies, making it easy to buy quality supplies that will stock the entire classroom or can be donated to your favorite cause. Big Box equals Big Savings, period.

Forward Backpack
This line of high-quality backpacks is a DollarDays exclusive. Forward Backpacks come in a variety of styles and sizes to outfit students of any age. With affordable cases of 24, they make paying it forward as easy as possible.

The costs of school supplies can add up quickly. Kids who can’t afford the right tools are not only at an academic disadvantage but are also more susceptible to feeling insecure and inadequate. With DollarDays you can find exactly what you need for your own kids at prices and quantities that make giving back a no-brainer.
