SchoolStore

SchoolStore is a great way to support your school by shopping at your favorite online merchants or donating a Caring For Classrooms gift card.

Shop and Support

SchoolStore.com is an online shopping mall where over 200 nationally known online merchants have agreed to give a percentage of sales to K-12 schools. Companies like WalMart.com, Sears, Target, DisneyStore.com, Family Book Store, and Oriental Trading Company participate. Most merchant contributions to your school will average 5%-10% but some go as high as 50% of sales!

Donate

You can also donate a Caring For Classrooms gift card to a student’s classroom. Your donation will be used by their teacher for books, educational magazines and classroom supplies. Donating a Caring For Classroom gift card is a wonderful way to enhance the reading and learning experience for an entire classroom.
