| Measuring the Impact of School Supplies |
|
When you shop for your students and classroom at Crayons to Computers, you consistently see a variety of products from national manufacturers and retailers on our shelves, including Elmer's, Dixon Ticonderoga, Target, Staples, and Thirty-One Gifts. We receive many of these items through our affiliation with the Kids In Need Foundation (KINF), as we are one of 41 centers across the United States that are part of the Kids In Need National Network of Resource Centers. KINF is a key partner in our efforts to improve the educational experience of students in our community.
We ask that you join us in support of KINF by participating in an online survey. This survey has been purposely kept brief and is intended to collect information and feedback from teachers like you across the country. Your feedback and expertise will help KINF seek and secure the needed resources and educational tools to help us keep our shelves stocked with classroom resources you need the most. We truly appreciate your participation and help with sustaining this partnership.
As a thank you for submitting this survey, you are eligible to receive a prize provided by Thirty-One Gifts. You will not receive email communication from Thirty-One Gifts by answering or submitting this survey.
This survey will be open until Friday, January 26.
