Teachers are pillars in the communities they serve, and Staples Canada is helping teachers get ready for the return to the classroom with more value and special benefits for educators.

"We have supported Canadians with Back to School since 1991 and know that teachers turn to us to stock up their classrooms," said Rachel Huckle, President, Staples Canada. "We understand that many teachers are spending out of pocket, not just for their classroom, but also to outfit their own families, so our aim is to offer the best value to help make it easy and fun."

With throwback pricing as part of its '90s-inspired Back to School campaign, Staples has lowered the price on classroom essentials, including:

• Crayola Broadline Markers for $1.99
• Staples Refill Paper Sheets for $0.49
• Hilroy Canada Stitched Notebooks for $0.79
• Staples Report Covers for $0.17
