In fact, according to a 2012 survey done by School Family Media, among the most-requested items on teachers' wish lists of extra supplies this year aren't pens and pencils—but tissues and paper towels. With high-traffic classrooms full of hands-on activities, products that promote health and wellness can help teachers keep messes at bay. Trusted in the home, and in the classroom, Bounty and Puffs have partnered with TeacherLists.com to provide a more seamless way for parents to stay up to date on teacher needs. “Combining both school supply lists and teacher wish lists into one comprehensive site allows both parents and teachers to save time and make the most of classroom supply purchases,” said School Family Media founder & president, Tim Sullivan. “Keeping in mind that our survey data shows that more than 73% of parents will donate up to $50 in supplies to their kids' classrooms—and spend $641 on average over the course of the year on school supplies—we expect that TeacherLists.com will help streamline class donations so that parents are giving and teachers are receiving the exact items they need.” And Sherry Carroll, teacher at St. Peter's School in Delano, MN adds, "The site really does make it so much easier for me to let parents know the exact supplies my students and classroom need to have a great school year." In an effort to help simplify as much as possible for teachers and parents alike, TeacherLists.com allows easy viewing and printing access from home computers or mobile devices and provides social media channels for quick updates and more. Bounty and Puffs will also be showing support for our nation's educators and school volunteers throughout the school year via their Facebook and Twitter pages. Parents and teachers are encouraged to visit Bounty's and Puffs' pages for more information. Also for a limited time, Puffs has specially designed boxes in classroom creature designs for a fun way to celebrate the back-to-school season. “Just as Bounty and Puffs have been trusted brands in the home for years, these teacher-trusted brands help provide a clean learning environment and a touch of home for kids in classrooms all across the country,” notes Dave Lee, P&G Brand Manager. “We're proud to sponsor TeacherLists.com and are dedicated to helping the nation's classrooms remain environments where creativity and imagination can thrive.” Parents and teachers can get started by visiting TeacherLists.com.
