Thanks to 20 volunteers the team at Sustainable Surplus was able to prepare over 200
boxes of office supplies for the upcoming BYOB (Bring Your Own Box) event for
free office supplies.
This is a special Back to School event, held in addition
to the monthly BYOB.
“Teachers have
been asking us for this,” explained executive director, Sue Prelozni. Office supplies are the majority of a teacher’s
budget. According to recent study cited
in USA Today, more than 56% of teachers spend their own money for school supplies. “I spend at least $100 a year for
supplies,” noted David Anderson, a teacher from San Diego Unified School
District. This spend is the teacher's choice and it fills in the gaps left by the huge state budget deficit.
The Back to School BYOB takes place Tuesday, August 27 at 3 pm. For more information, please click here.
