Essential Back to School Supplies and Organization for Success
As teachers, kids and parents prepare for back to school, it’s essential for them to have helpful tools on deck for a successful and bright school year. Michaels offers a wide range of supplies and learning resources including Lexington Carts and a Storage Desktop Carousel to help keep things organized in the classroom or at home. For the kids, consider a Kids Lap Tray for craft work, color or homework.
