I've hit all the spots, including Walmart. My Walmart has a great Back to School section with an amazing selection of quality school supplies at a great price. Walmart carries all my favorite brands, including my all time favorite glue from Elmer's.

Walmart also has this wonderful program called #BagItForward. BagItForward is a Back to School Kit Donation program. The program encourages consumers to buy a pre-packaged kit from the Back to School display at their local Walmart, and then donate the kit to a student, educator or organization that supports children in need.

Since I'm such a fan of Back to School, I was thrilled to learn that Elmer's has a 1st Day App you can download. And best of all, the App is FREE. There's a display at Walmart, with a QR code - you can scan it with your smartphone for more information or to download the App right in the store. By using the App, you will be helping to drive donations to the Kids in Need Foundation.

| What a fun and easy to use App! |
It was truly easy and inexpensive to pick up a kit, and make a donation to the UCP/Best Friends pre-k classroom teacher, Miss Ginger. UCP/Best Friends is an inclusion program and works hard to support children in need.

| Owen loved giving the kit to Miss Ginger. |

I also made a list of my top 10 items for Back to School. . .what would be on your list?
I hope you will consider doing your Back to School shopping at Walmart, and pick up a Back to School kit to donate while you're there and BagItForward!

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, how adorable is Owen?!! I love the Bag It Forward program. So many teachers go into their own pockets to buy products for their students without even a second thought. Awesome that you were able to support a teacher's efforts!
