Thank you! We received more than 300 responses to our survey about the August 2018 shopping experience. We've been pouring over your comments and want you to know how very seriously we take your feedback.
On a daily basis, we strive to be as helpful as we can and provide as many wants and needs for all the teachers we serve as often as we can. As a nonprofit organization, we sometimes have to rely solely on the product donations that are coming in and won't necessarily have something specific. We always want to understand what we can do to make your trip to Crayons worth your time.
As an example of a recent change based on your feedback, we reset a few of the product limits:
Rulers - 12
Dry Erase Markers - 6
4-packs of highlighters - 4
Erasers - 10
And this month's coupon is to double the limit on the "mix & match notebooks" from 6 to 12!
Thank you for your input!
Amy Cheney
President & CEO

| Largest Supply Drive in 21-Year History |
The employees of
Ensemble Health Partners in Mason, OH, have shattered the record for the largest Push 4 Pencils school supply drive by any company in the 21-year history of Crayons to Computers. They collected 11,757 school supplies, including 3,050 folders, 2,023 spiral notebooks, 1,049 boxes of crayons, 1,101 glue sticks, 1,054 pencils and much more. The estimated value of the donated items raised is approximately
$44,708.
 To date, 81 companies have donated a total of 85,966 quality, core products to be distributed through the Teacher Free Store. The Push 4 Pencils supply drive helps to keep the store shelves stocked with the critical tools for success in the classroom, and we are grateful to all of these companies for their dedication and generosity.
