Stone's Education Welcome!
Celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week
April 14, 2008

Dear Stone's Customer,

In 1984 the National PTA established the first full week in May as Teacher Appreciation Week. This year we celebrate teachers the week of May 4th - 10th. We hope that you will join us in the store for some fun, lots of giveaways, and special discounts.

Each weekday, May 5th - 9th, we will be placing all of the merchandise from one of our top vendors on a 20% off sale. We're finalizing the vendors right now, and will provide all the details in the next couple of weeks. We'll also be conducting a raffle each day, and will give each winner a basket of some really great merchandise. And of course, what would a celebration week be without refreshments...

In this newsletter, we're also highlighting our favorite tool to help everyone thank their favorite teacher for all of his or her hard work throughout the school year. We'll also be highlighting some new products that we think are pretty special. And finally, we're going to be holding our first ever Brain Quest Challenge in May, at 10 a.m. on Saturday the 17th.

And really finally, now is the time to get your students/children ready for end of year testing. We have a huge selection of materials that are designed in accordance with state standards, loaded with practice questions, explanations, and strategies. We also have an entire section devoted to homework helpers, in all subjects and from preK up to 8th grade. And don't forget Summer Bridge, the award winning series from Carson-Dellosa loaded with fun yet educational activities designed to keep students from forgetting everything they've learned during the school year. At the bottom of this newsletter, you'll find a 20% off coupon for all of these great resources.

  • Teachers Wishlist Registry

    We've heard from many of our customers that one of the most useful things we ever created was our on-line Teachers Wishlist Registry. It's a great tool for both teachers and parents. We're now nearing the end of the school year, and many parents would like to buy something for a favorite teacher to express their appreciation for a great year. The parents often never really know what to buy, and it can be an awkward thing for the teachers.

    Teachers can click here for easy to follow detailed full-color instructions for setting up your wish list. You can even print them out if you wish. And you can always contact us here at the store if you need further assistance. Please ask for David.

    You can even suggest or purchase on-line gift certificates. For those of you parents receiving this who like the wish list registry idea and don't think that your children's teachers know about it, please invite them to check it out.


    New from Carpets for Kids!

    Many of you know that we carry the complete selection of colorful and durable educational area rugs from Carpets for Kids. You can see a sampling of them on our web site or in our catalog.

    Stone's has just been selected to be one of the very few retailers nationwide who now offer their full line of Faith-based carpets. These beautiful area rugs feature both Old and New Testament themes, as well as character education concepts, many also blending in the teaching of numbers and letters, making the carpets useful for a wide variety of applications. Please click here to check out some of our featured carpets.


    Store Gallery

    We've learned that many of you reading our newsletter have never been to Stone's, or haven't been in for a long time. So these photos are for you. Hope that this provides a sense of just how packed we are, and how bright and fresh we try to keep things all year round. Click here to see our Store Gallery!
