ICYMI—Save with Staples

Six members who signed up for MEA’s new Staples discount program this summer were randomly drawn to win a “classroom refresh” featuring $250 in 3M products:

  • Betsy Spray-Comstock, teacher, Atherton
  • Amanda Feyen, teacher, Manistee
  • Erin Michalak, teacher, Clawson
  • Heather Skulan, teacher, Wakefield-Marenisco
  • Katherine Sibalwa, teacher, Byron Center
  • April Switzenberg, paraeducator, Mason
Amanda Feyen

Winner Amanda Feyen (pictured) says she has used her Staples discount to purchase materials for programs she runs in Manistee: elementary music, high school choir, and theater.

“The discount on Avery products alone saves my program a bundle—over half the price I would have paid on Amazon,” she said. “The Staples delivery also delivers your order right to your door or room! It was such a good experience!”
